As part of a new balance sheet restructuring, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is looking into buying back £10 billion of debt.
The firm's debt could be bought back at a premium to current prices, the Financial Times reported.
It is anticipated finance director Bruce van Saun will announce the plans in the next two weeks.
The model used by Dutch group Rabobank is currently being examined by RBS. The firm issued contingent capital notes that could be written down by 75 per cent if its capital ratio decreased below a pre-set level.
Lloyds Banking Group has also used contingent capital as part of its capital restructuring.
William Fall joined RBS as global head of the financial institutions group this month.
His responsibilities will include managing the relationships between the bank and its financial institution clients.
Based in London, Mr Fall will report to Marco Mazzuchelli, deputy chief executive of the bank's global banking and markets division.
