During the same period, the financial institution saw an increase of 89 percent in its interest expense, as it paid N177.56 billion to grow and retain deposits compared to the N93.92 billion reported in 2023.

The increase followed a 35.64 percent rise in Wema Bank’s depositors’ funds, which rose from N1.86 trillion to N2.52 trillion.

After accounting for interest expense, the bank recorded N177.06 billion in net interest income last year, surpassing the N91.72 billion reported the previous year, indicating a 93 percent increase.

Furthermore, Wema Bank reported its profit before tax (PBT) grew to N102.51 billion in 2024, which is 141.09 percent higher than the N42.52 billion PBT posted in 2023.

Despite the burden of triple-digit growth in Wema Bank’s income tax, the company’s profit after tax (PAT) grew threefold, from N35.98 billion to N86.27 billion – indicating a 139.73 percent increase in net income.
