Executive summary
Excelerate25 strategy execution remains on track, focusing on resilience, scalability, and sustainability, with pre-IPO timelines extended to post-FY27 to derisk the process.
FY24 marked significant progress in diversifying revenue streams and de-risking the balance sheet, with strong growth in Business & Commercial lending and disciplined capital allocation.
Major acquisitions (Grindrod Bank, Sasfin Bank businesses, Ubank) expanded capabilities in retail, business, and commercial banking, with divisionalisation and integration completed.
Customer base grew to 5.4 million, with significant digital adoption and MyWORLD transactional accounts surpassing 1.7 million funded accounts.
Pre-IPO preparations advanced, including securing GEPF/PIC as anchor shareholder and launching a 10% employee share scheme.
Financial highlights
Net advances increased by 8% to R34.4bn, led by 15% growth in Business & Commercial and 4% in Personal Banking.
Net profit after tax reached R523m, up from less than R200m at half-year.
Total operating profits after impairment surpassed R5bn, an 8% year-on-year increase.
Non-interest revenue and insurance income both increased by 14%, with insurance profits at R821m.
Operating expenses reduced by 1% to R4.5bn, reflecting disciplined cost management.
Outlook and guidance
FY25 will focus on consolidating recent acquisitions, extracting value from the expanded customer base, and progressing pre-IPO plans.
Expansion of secured lending (home loans, vehicle and asset finance) and enhanced insurance offerings planned.
Continued investment in digital, risk management, and compliance to support growth.
IPO targeted post-2027, contingent on market conditions and full integration of new capabilities.
