Fino Payments Bank reported a 10% year-on-year increase in average total deposits to ₹2,762 crore for May 2026, while new customer acquisitions grew 29% to 2.94 lakh accounts. The bank's loan referral business surged 186% to ₹210 crore, driven by a strategic focus on sourcing secured loan assets as it progresses toward its transition to a Small Finance Bank (SFB). The transaction business throughput moderated to ₹2,546 crore, attributed to an ecosystem shift from cash to UPI and a focus on higher-quality merchants.
Robust Deposit Franchise
The bank sustained momentum in its liability business during May 2026. Average total deposits rose to ₹2,762 crore, up from ₹2,509 crore in the corresponding period last year. Digital engagement improved significantly, with digitally active customers increasing 19% year-on-year to 62.6 lakh. FinoPay active customers also grew 22% to 7.2 lakh. Renewal income remained stable at ₹18.9 crore compared to ₹18.7 crore in May 2025.
Loan Referral Business
Loan referral disbursements reached ₹210 crore in May 2026, a substantial increase from ₹73 crore in May 2025. The bank continues to prioritize sourcing secured loan assets for its referral business, reinforcing its long-term vision for a differentiated SFB.
Transaction and Digital Payments
Transaction throughput, comprising remittance, Micro ATM, and AePS, stood at ₹2,546 crore, a decline from ₹4,863 crore in the previous year. The bank noted that this moderation is primarily due to a broader shift toward UPI and a strategic focus on merchant quality. In the digital payments segment, B2B digital throughput was nil compared to ₹3,527 crore in the prior year, as the bank reassesses product features and recalibrates strategic risk.
SFB Implementation Progress
Fino Payments Bank has entered into a strategic partnership with Ezee.ai to build a lending ecosystem, marking a significant step in its SFB transition. This initiative is supported by a Finacle-based core banking and lending management system. The bank is simultaneously strengthening its merchant network and augmenting technology and resources to support this transition.
