Kiwibank’s past due residential mortgages rose to $14.3 million at September 30 from $5.9 million at June 30. The proportion of its mortgages with loan-to-value ratios (LVRs) above 80% fell slightly to 17.5% from 17.7% at June 30.
Kiwibank’s net profit slipped to $9.7 million in the three months from $11.4 million in the same three months a year earlier.
ASB’s on-balance sheet mortgages grew $597 million to $36.4 billion, accounting for 48.2% of all mortgage lending by registered banks in the three months. That took its market share to 23.75% from 23.55% three months earlier.
This is the second quarter in a row ASB has increased its market share after previously steadily losing ground since the September quarter of 2006.
ASB had a further $4.57 billion in off-balance sheet mortgages, generally loans approved but not drawn down, down from $4.61 billion at June 30.
