Bank Millennium Q1 2023 key metrics
Total income rises by 77% y-o-y to PLN2.07bn. Net interest income is up by 31% y-o-y to PLN1.26bn.
On the other hand, the quarterly net interest margin inches down by 5 basis points from the prior quarter to 4.58%. This is primarily driven by higher cost of deposits, partially driven by higher share of term deposits in total deposits.
Customer deposits increase by 3% in the quarter with retail deposits up 2% from the prior quarter.
Total digital customer numbers rise by 11% y-o-y to 2.6 million. Meantime, active mobile banking customers rise by 16% y-o-y to 2.3 million. In the first quarter, the bank increased customer numbers by 36,000. Bank Millennium ended the quarter with 2.92 million active retail customers.
Less positive metrics include a 4% y-o-y fall in net loans and advances but deposits rise by 4% over the same period.
The swing back to profitability comes despite a growing number of Poles now struggling to repay their foreign currency mortgage loans.
