The Board of Directors of Telenor Microfinance Bank (TMB) in its meeting held on August 22, 2024, approved the Bank’s financial results for the half year ended June 30, 2024.
TMB has reported exceptional financial performance for the first half of 2024 (H1’24), achieving a profit before tax of Rs. 2.6 billion, a staggering 788 percent increase compared to H1 2023: Rs. 0.3 billion and equity touching Rs. 10 billion, solidifying its position as a pioneering force in Pakistan’s fintech landscape.
Customer deposits and advances have demonstrated remarkable growth, with deposits reaching Rs. 67.0 billion up by 21 percent in comparison with H1 2023: Rs. 55.3 billion and advances climbing to Rs. 22.9 billion, growing by 59 percent, H1 2023: Rs. 14.5 billion.
The Bank has also maintained a robust Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of 26.9 percent. This achievement underscores TMB’s exceptional ability to scale operations and sustain growth simultaneously. The significant increase in loans and advances, coupled with excellent profitability, further highlights the Bank’s strong financial performance and an effective digital-first strategy in the challenging economic landscape.
TMB’s flagship digital financial services platform, Easypaisa, recorded robust growth, achieving a milestone of over 15 million monthly active users with one in four Pakistani adults, having a registered Easypaisa account. With more than 45 million registered users, Easypaisa maintained its position as one of Pakistan’s leading financial services apps with a rating of 4.5 on the Google Play store, one of the highest among banking apps. TMB has further transitioned the core wallet platform from a monolithic architecture to a microservices stack making it more modular and scalable.

The Easypaisa Karobar Ecosystem will transform operations for retailers and FMCGs, offering streamlined financial management tools. Additionally, the Bank has introduced an enhanced credit score feature on the Easypaisa app, providing users with valuable insights to make informed financial decisions.
