    10 May 2018

    In Q1 2018, mBank Group once again reported higher income, while maintaining cost discipline. The bank was growing organically through client acquisition and strengthening its deposit and credit base

    The main drivers of the Group’s financial results in Q1 2018 were as follows:

    • Increase in total overhead costs (including amortisation/depreciation) to PLN 601.0 million compared with Q4 2017; in Q1 2018, mBank posted an annual contribution to the banks’ resolution scheme amounting to PLN 97.1 million.
    • Slight rise in tax on balance sheet items of the Group compared with Q4 2017 in the amount of PLN 98.5 million.
