Inbank recorded a profit of 2,62 million euros for 2016, which is about three times more than in 2015. Inbank’s shareholders were in favor of the Management Board’s proposal to distribute the profit as follows: 21 thousand euros will be transferred to the statutory reserve capital and 2 626 thousand euros will be transferred to retained profits.
During Inbank’s second operating year, there was growth in the portfolios of all product lines. Inbank grew its deposit portfolio by 117%, i.e. to approximately 64.6 million euros. At the same time, its financing portfolio increased by 86%, reaching 64.8 million euros.
According to Jan Andresoo, Chairman of the Management Board of Inbank, the results indicate that Inbank has chosen a functioning business model for its operations. “Over a short period of time, we have achieved a market share of more than 20 percent in new consumer financing sales in Estonia. It is also remarkable that we have been able to invest in development and enter new markets at the same time as growing our profit,” Andresoo said.
According to Andresoo, last year was an important one for Inbank due to several significant events. “The largest success of the year was the listing of Inbank bonds on the stock exchange, which made us an even more open company. In addition, Inbank started raising deposits from Germany and Austria, and we made preparations for offering our products on the Polish market,” Andresoo said.
Inbank’s Polish branch started its operations on 15 March 2017, offering consumer financing and deposit products. In Poland, Inbank also offers fast loan desicions and one of the best deposit rates on the market.
Launching the activities of Coop Bank also played an important role in Inbank’s operations in 2016. In the first half of 2017, Inbank intends to sell its affiliates Coop Finants AS and Krediidipank Finants AS. Both companies will be merged with Eesti Krediidipank in which Inbank currently has an almost ten percent holding. In medium term perspective, Inbank intends to exit its investment in Coop Bank and to focus its resources to support its expansion.
