Moneta Money Bank

News Summary:

On February 3, 2026, Moneta Money Bank AS reported strong profit growth for its full year 2025, attributing the performance to loan growth, customer deposit repricing, and fee income from wealth management and insurance. The bank's management projects the net interest margin to improve to between 215 and 220 basis points over the next three years, driven by mortgage repricing and robust growth in the small business loan portfolio.

This followed news that its net profit rose 11.9% year-over-year, exceeding guidance, with operating income growing 7.8%. Strong loan and deposit growth, improved cost efficiency, and robust capital ratios supported a 71.2% total shareholder return, with a dividend payout proposed at 90% of net profit.
