SBS holds its home loan market share
SBS Bank's general disclosure statement (GDS) shows net profit dropped 12% to $2.64 million as net interest income fell 7.8% to $14.23 million.
A 34.7% jump in other income, largely loan and other fees and insurance income, to $4.42 million in the three months was all but offset by a $4 million charge against profit for bad loans.
SBS's six month profit was up 16.6% to $6.26 million.
The bank's mortgage book grew by $30.8 million to $1.71 billion in the three months, holding its market share at 1.11%. Of the total book, $220.6 million were the government-backed Welcome Home Loans which accounted for 79% of SBS's mortgages with loan-to-valuation ratios above 90%.
