Fino Payments Bank Q1 FY26 Earnings Call: Focus on Sustainable Growth
The announcement provides updates on earnings and strategic initiatives, which are relevant to investors but do not indicate a major shift in the company's prospects.
The announcement discusses both positive financial results and challenges faced by the bank, resulting in a neutral sentiment.
* Fino Payments Bank held its Q1 FY26 earnings call on July 31, 2025, emphasizing a focus on sustainable and compliant growth amidst regulatory scrutiny and industry-wide challenges like digital fraud. * The bank reported a revenue of ₹453 crore, a 4% year-on-year increase. EBITDA stood at ₹62 crore, up 16% year-on-year, and cash profit was ₹50.5 crore, a 20% year-on-year growth. * The bank added approximately 7 lakh new CASA accounts during the quarter, bringing the total to nearly 1.5 crore accounts. Average deposits rose 34% year-on-year to ₹2,275 crore. * Digital payment transactions reached approximately ₹68,000 crore, comprising 55% of total throughput. * The traditional business, including remittances, micro-ATM, and AePS, witnessed a decline, with remittance business particularly impacted by regulatory changes. * The bank is in the final phase of core banking system migration, expected to be completed by the end of the calendar year. * The bank has formally applied for a small finance bank license and is in discussions with the regulator. Internal discussions on products, geographies, technology, and teams are underway. * Management has consciously chosen not to issue any forward-looking guidance given the current industry-wide headwinds, but believes the second half of FY '26 will offer a more conducive environment for growth. * Rishi Gupta, MD & CEO, stated the bank is consciously choosing sustainable and compliant growth over short-term acceleration. * CFO Ketan Merchant noted a favorable shift in revenue mix towards high-margin offerings of CASA and digital payment services.
