Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

BNK Banking Corporation Limited ( (AU:BBC) ) has provided an update.

BNK Banking Corporation reported a profitable third quarter for FY26, with underlying profit after tax of $621,000 and statutory profit after tax of $414,000, both lower than the prior year due to one-off gains in FY25. The bank grew net interest income to $6.30 million and expanded its net interest margin to 2.11%, supported by a strategic shift toward higher-margin commercial lending and senior secured credit transactions.

The commercial loan book doubled year-on-year to more than $210 million, contributing to a total loan book of $984 million and deposits of $1.027 billion, giving a deposit-to-loan ratio of 104% and a solid funding base. Asset quality improved with lower 90-plus day arrears in both residential and commercial portfolios, credit loss provisions held steady, operating expenses remained flat, and a strong capital adequacy ratio of 26.4% and a new NCD funding program position BNK for cautious growth, though management warns that rising competition for deposits may constrain margin expansion in the near term.
