Easypaisa Digital Bank has announced a profit before tax of Rs. 5.65 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The figure marks a 45.6% year-on-year increase from Rs. 3.88 billion recorded in the same period last year.
The strong performance was driven by deposit growth, higher fee-based revenues, and effective cost control.
Revenue and Income Growth
Net markup income rose by 8.46%, supported by growth in digital lending and low-cost deposits. Meanwhile, non-markup income surged by 44.62%, reflecting increased transaction volumes across payment services. Online payment, bundle products, disbursements and collections commissions, and insurance products revenue mainly fueled the rise.
Operating expenses increased modestly by 5.92%, as the bank continued investing in technology, talent, and customer acquisition. However, this was partly offset by the actualisation of accrued compensation costs.
Due to greater efficiency, the cost-to-income ratio improved to 69.91% from 80.31% last year.
Balance Sheet and Capital Strength
Customer deposits stood at Rs. 109.6 billion, up 61.88% from September 2024, reflecting strong customer confidence after Easypaisa’s transition to a digital retail bank. Total advances reached Rs. 26.14 billion, with a loan-to-deposit ratio of 21.54%.
The bank’s equity was recorded at Rs. 18.35 billion, while its Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) remained strong at 23.16%, well above regulatory requirements.
