BSP Financial Group Ltd. ( (AU:BFL) ) has issued an update.
BSP Financial Group reported a strong FY25 performance, with statutory net profit after tax rising 12.9% to K1.17 billion and revenue up 14.4% to K3.41 billion, supported by balance sheet growth, resilient net interest margins and a 28.7% jump in foreign exchange income. Return on equity reached 23.8%, capital adequacy remained high at 26.4%, and the full-year dividend increased 13% to K1.88 per share, underscoring robust shareholder returns.
Operating expenses rose 15.4% as the bank accelerated its K1.2 billion Modernising for Growth program, upgrading branches, rolling out new ATMs and EFTPOS terminals and launching a Business Bank to improve customer experience. Digital adoption surged, with internet banking transactions up 54% and EFTPOS usage up 16%, while the new Wantok Wallet attracted more than 100,000 users, reinforcing BSP’s push into financial inclusion and strengthening its competitive position in fast-growing South Pacific markets.
Asset quality and risk metrics remained sound, with provisions to loans steady at 3.3%, delinquency rates edging down to 2.7% and capital levels supporting continued growth and investment. Management highlighted that these results, delivered in Papua New Guinea’s 50th year of Independence, demonstrate both the bank’s financial resilience and its role as a key enabler of economic development across the region.
