BACB Continues to Support Bulgarian Economy, Achieving 13.72% Growth in Its Loan Portfolio

At the end of Q3 of 2025, Bulgarian-American Credit Bank continues its upward trajectory of development and growth, with its assets increasing to BGN 2.792 billion.

As of the end of September 2025, the Bank’s loan portfolio grew by 13.72% compared to the same period in 2024, against a reported increase of 14.85% for the banking system as a whole. These results are driven by BACB’s strategy to support a sustainable economy and its active presence in this market segment over recent years.

The Bank’s focus on retail lending has led to a 27.09% increase in mortgage loans, compared to a 29.87% rise across the banking market in the third quarter of 2025. The consumer loan portfolio recorded an impressive 28.32% growth, compared to 14.56% for the sector, relative to September 2024. Attractive interest rates and flexible financing schemes have contributed to the Bank’s strong performance.

Deposits from individuals also marked a significant increase compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Despite low interest rates, attracted funds in this segment grew by 17.04%. For the period under review, the banking system reported a 13.86% increase. This is a clear indication that BACB is gaining the trust of an increasing number of retail clients.

The decline in base interest rates has led to a reduction in net interest income. However, thanks to strong client activity and the acquisition of new customers, BACB reported a 21.27% increase in net income from fees and commissions in the third quarter, compared to 9.53% for the market, relative to the same period in 2024.

BACB’s capital position has maintained its positive trend, registering a 26.08% increase compared to September 2024, with CET1 on a standalone basis reaching BGN 364.535 million - a guarantee of the Bank’s sustainable development
