The Board exercises its oversight via four committees, namely (i) Audit Committee, (ii) Risk Management & Compliance Committee, (iii) HR & Compensation Committee, and (iv) IT Committee. M/s Yousuf Adil Chartered Accountants, the Bank’s external auditors and categorized in the “A” panel of auditors by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), have issued an unqualified opinion on the financial statements for the period ended December 2025.

The Bank has divided its organization structure into different departments with each department head reporting directly to the CEO, while the head of the internal audit department, reports to the Audit Committee. Mr. Haaris Mahmood Chaudhary has been appointed as a CEO of the Bank on Jan 15, 2025. He has over 22 years of experience in the banking sector. He is assisted by an experienced management team.

The Risk Management Committee meets on a regular basis to ensure the risk profile of the Bank remains within the Board of Directors approved limits. The Bank has a dedicated Special Asset Management Unit (SAM) to strengthen its loan recovery function. The unit currently comprises 60 members, with plans to expand its workforce to 150. In its initial months of operation, the SAM unit has achieved recoveries of PKR 200mln and is targeting annual recoveries in the range of PKR 2.5bln to PKR 3bln. The establishment of a specialized recovery unit reflects a proactive approach towards managing asset quality and containing credit losses. The early recovery momentum is encouraging; however, the achievement of ambitious annual targets will depend on the Bank’s ability to scale operations effectively and sustain recovery efficiency as the unit expands. Backboned with strong sponsors and a natural affiliation with the telecom industry, the Bank is equipped with sound technological infrastructure. It deploys Temenos (T24) as its core banking software. The Bank has in place Middleware, an innovative technological platform, to facilitate branchless banking operations, ATM service, Utility bill payment, and G2P payments.

Pakistan’s microfinance ecosystem comprises Microfinance Banks (MFBs), Microfinance Institutions (MFIs), Rural Support Programmes (RSPs), and FinTechs, with MFBs dominating (~77% of Gross Loan Portfolio (GLP)) and uniquely funded through customer deposits, highlighting their systemic importance. The sector entered FY25 in a phase of cautious recovery following recent macroeconomic shocks. By late CY24–Oct’25, macro conditions improved modestly, with easing inflation (~5.6%), stable currency, lower interest rates, and positive Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, while GDP growth is projected at ~2.6%–3.6% for FY26. Despite this improvement, the sector continues to face elevated credit risk, weak capital buffers, and uneven performance across players, with loan exposure largely concentrated in livestock and agriculture (~57%), increasing vulnerability to external shocks. During CY25, the sector reported advances of PKR 468 bln (CY24: PKR 421.2 bln) funded primarily through deposits and borrowings, resulting in an Advance-to-Deposit Ratio (ADR) of 65% (Dec’24: 63%). In comparison, Mobilink Microfinance Bank's ADR stood at 47% (CY24: 48%). The sector remained loss-making for the sixth consecutive year, reporting a reduced loss of PKR 2.0 bln (CY24: PKR 16.2 bln). The sector’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) remained weak at -1.2% (Dec’24: 2.6%), well below the regulatory requirement of 15%. Whereas, the CAR of Mobilink Microfinance Bank stood at 19.53% at the end of CY25 (CY24: 19.16%). The MMBL has a 22% market share in terms of Gross Loan Portfolio at the end of CY25 and 19% with secured lending of 48% at the end-CY24. In the branchless banking domain, the Bank is the leading player in the industry. The Bank is committed to maintaining its dominant position in branchless banking with its flagship product Jazz Cash. During CY25, mark-up income earned by the Bank increased by 26% to stand at PKR 67bln (CY24: PKR 53bln). Income from branchless banking increased to PKR 20bln (CY24: PKR 13bln), indicating an increase of 54%. During CY25, the net interest markup of the Bank increased to PKR 56bln (CY24: PKR 41bln). Non-markup income of the Bank increased to PKR 22bln (CY24: PKR 14bln) on the back of a 55% surge in branchless banking income. The Bank reported a significant turnaround in CY25, posting a profit of PKR 2.4bln (CY24: loss of PKR 1.8bln). This recovery reflects the combined impact of enhanced markup income and the continued growth in branchless banking income. The Bank plans to persist in strengthening its branchless banking operations. Micro-deposits continue to add strength to the Bank's performance indicators. The Bank's business model encompasses systems and practices to nurture BB and core banking results simultaneously. In light of the safety precautions taken during the global pandemic, the importance of branchless banking has risen manifold.

At the end of CY25, the Bank’s gross advances clocked in at PKR 118bln (CY24: PKR 87bln), depicting a growth of 35% due to increase in nano loans of 38%. The Bank’s advances portfolio is predominantly concentrated in livestock, accounting for 45% of total exposure, followed by nano loans at 30%, indicating reliance on core microfinance segments. Agriculture contributes 14%, while working capital and housing remain relatively small portions at 9% and 2%, respectively. During the period, total loan disbursements stood at PKR 320bln. Livestock loans accounted for PKR 48bln, followed by agriculture at PKR 13bln and microenterprise at PKR 10bln, while housing remained minimal at PKR 576mln. The disbursement mix reflects continued focus on core microfinance segments alongside significant growth in broader lending categories. During the period, the Bank recorded provisions amounting to PKR 17bln (CY24: PKR 12bln). Of the total provisioning, 46% was allocated to the agriculture segment, followed by 39% to housing loans, while commercial vehicle loans and running finance each accounted for 6%, and microenterprise loans comprised the remaining 3%. Despite this sizeable growth in the loan book, asset quality remained largely stable, with net non-performing loans marginally improving to PKR 3.1bln (CY24: PKR 3.4bln). Accordingly, the infection ratio remained unchanged at 11% at the end of CY25. At end of CY25, the Bank’s total investment significantly increased during the period, clocking in at PKR 95bln (CY24: PKR 61bn), largely driven by a 60% increase in exposure to Treasury Bills. The portfolio continues to remain entirely invested in government securities.Whereas, at the end of CY25, the total deposits of the Bank increased by 38% to stand at PKR 214bln (CY24: PKR 155bln) primarily driven by a 32% increase in customer deposits. This growth reflects strengthened deposit mobilization, improved franchise traction and also supports funding stability and reduces reliance on potentially volatile sources. The total borrowings increased to PKR 3.5bln during CY25 (CY24: PKR 766mln). To strengthen the Bank’s capital base and support its strategic initiatives, sponser injected equity of USD 15mln (around PKR 4.2bln) during CY24 and USD 20mln (approximately PKR 6bln) subsequently disbursed in two tranches during CY25—USD 5mln (around PKR 1.4bln) in Sep'25, followed by PKR 4.4bln in Nov'25. This phased equity infusion is aimed at reinforcing the Bank’s capital adequacy, expanding MSME financing, scaling up digital lending initiatives, and fostering long-term growth in its digital ecosystem. The timely execution of these capital commitments reflects VEON’s continued confidence in MMBL’s growth trajectory and its pivotal role in promoting financial inclusion across Pakistan. Following the equity injection, the Bank’s equity base increased to PKR 17bln at the end of CY25 (CY24: PKR 9bln), materially strengthening its capital structure. This enhancement provides a stronger buffer against potential losses, supports future asset growth, and improves the Bank’s capacity to absorb credit risk while sustaining its expansion strategy.
