- Ping An Bank reported higher revenue and shareholder profit for the first nine months of 2026.
- Corporate deposits and retail assets under management expanded, while personal lending remained mixed.
- Stable credit quality and stronger digital finance capabilities remain central to the bank's outlook.
Ping An Bank released its third-quarter report on October 24, covering the nine months ended September 30, 2026. A WallStreetCN report published by Futu said operating income rose 2.4 percent year over year to RMB 103.1 billion, while net profit attributable to shareholders increased 2.2 percent to RMB 39.186 billion.
Revenue growth remains broad-based
Net interest income reached RMB 66.755 billion, up 0.3 percent from the same period a year earlier. The report said the third-quarter net interest margin reached 1.80 percent, supported by lower funding costs and efforts to improve the corporate liability mix.
Corporate loan balances stood at RMB 1.709026 trillion at the end of September, while corporate deposits reached RMB 2.386713 trillion. The average interest rate on corporate deposits for the first nine months fell to 1.28 percent, indicating progress in funding-cost management even as loan growth remained moderate.
Retail and digital finance add scale
Retail customers totaled 130.2789 million at the end of September, and retail assets under management rose to RMB 4,392.327 billion. Personal loans were more uneven: mortgage balances increased, while credit-card receivables, consumer loans and business loans declined from year-end levels.
The report also highlighted new artificial-intelligence-enabled card products and expanded digital service tools. For investors, the development points to Ping An Bank's effort to deepen customer engagement beyond traditional lending and deposit products.
Credit indicators remain a focus
The non-performing loan ratio was 1.05 percent at the end of September, unchanged from year-end 2025, while the loan-loss reserve coverage ratio stood at 214.75 percent. The corporate-loan non-performing loan ratio was 0.89 percent, compared with 1.20 percent for personal loans.
