How the Company Makes MoneyPBB generates revenue primarily through interest income from its lending activities, which includes mortgage loans and public sector financing. The bank earns interest payments over the life of these loans, which constitute a significant portion of its revenue. Additionally, PBB benefits from fee income through advisory services and loan origination fees. The bank's revenue model is supported by its strong relationships with institutional investors and public sector clients, allowing it to secure a steady stream of financing opportunities. Furthermore, PBB’s access to capital markets enables it to issue covered bonds (Pfandbriefe), providing a low-cost funding source that bolsters its lending capabilities and profitability.
