The model used for the research proxied credit risk management as total risk assets to total assets ratio (TRAR), total loans to total deposits ratio (TLTDR), non-performing loan ratio (NPLR) and loan cover ratio (LC). Financial stability was measured by liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), leverage ratio (LR), capital adequacy ratio (CAR) and return on assets before tax (ROABT) and the study collected data from top (5) banks in the United Kingdom. The secondary data required were extracted from the audited financial statements of selected UK banks from 2016 to 2021 and the data was analysed using regression technique through SPSS version 28.The research concluded that there exists significant positive effect between credit risk management and financial stability of sampled UK banks for the sampled period since the result of the regression analysis revealed that the probability of F-statistic value of 3.427 with p-value of 0.023 is below significance level of 5%.The study therefore recommends that credit risk management(CRM) proxied by total risk assets to total assets ratio (TRAR), total loans to total deposits ratio (TLTDR), non-performing loans to gross loan ratio (NPLR) as a measure of asset quality and loan cover ratio (LC) have a joint significant effect on financial stability of UK banks.
