Key figures (financial year 2025)
● KEY FINDINGS
Five dimensions, three carrying findings.
Reach and economics are exceptional.
68.3m retail customers (+16m net) carry ~$6.0bn revenue (+46 %) and ~$2.3bn pre-tax profit at a 38 % PBT margin — the fifth profitable year in a row.
Product and model breadth is robust.
Eleven product lines each generate over $135m in revenue; customer deposits of ~$67.5bn anchor the model well beyond payments.
Regulation is the bottleneck.
The UK full banking licence only came in 03/2026 after a five-year process; an AML fine in Lithuania and PRA requirements weigh on the governance profile.
