Capital requirements for UK banks are quite high (and European).
Their loans have had to be a limited roll out so far because they have to keep capital ratios within certain boundaries. Until they get a whole bunch more money in the coffers to safeguard deposits it's difficult to scale up the loans side which is where they can really start to generate profit.
