Positive Performance in Q2 2025
KB Bank also announced that the bank had recorded a strong performance in the second quarter of 2025. The company successfully disbursed Rp 43.2 trillion (around $2.6 billion) in loans, a 4.04 percent increase compared to Rp 41.5 trillion in the previous year. This growth reflects solid credit performance, supported by the consistent implementation of its business transformation strategy and the full support of its parent company, KB Kookmin Bank, and the KB Financial Group holding company.

KB Bank also enjoyed a net profit of Rp 389 billion. The bank attributed this net profit to an increase in net interest income with a Net Interest Margin (NIM) of 1.33 percent and success in maintaining operational cost efficiency.

The company’s capital adequacy ratio (CAR) was well above the regulatory minimum, providing adequate room for credit expansion and strengthening the bank's capacity to absorb potential risks.

Profitability performance showed significant improvement, with a return on assets (ROA) ratio of 1.27 percent and a return on equity (ROE) ratio of 17.94 percent, a positive turnaround compared to the previous year.

"KB Bank's positive achievements demonstrate that its transformation strategy is on the right track. With the full support of KB Financial Group, we are optimistic that we can strengthen our business foundations, expand our services to customers, and provide sustainable added value for all stakeholders," KB Bank President Director Kunardy Darma Lie said.
