Slice Small Finance Bank has reported a net profit of ₹48.4 crore for the fiscal year 2026, marking its first full year of profitability following the merger with North East Small Finance Bank. This is a significant turnaround from a ₹216.7 crore loss in the previous fiscal year. The bank's total income surged to ₹1,402.7 crore, more than doubling from ₹603.8 crore in FY25. For the March 2026 quarter, Slice recorded a net profit of ₹20.4 crore on a total income of ₹399.7 crore, contrasting with a net loss of ₹89.9 crore in the same quarter last year. Despite facing challenges in its initial year post-merger, including a weak loan book from North East Small Finance Bank, Slice has improved its capital ratios, with a capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 19.1%. The bank is currently seeking to raise between $50-100 million to reposition itself as a digital bank. A spokesperson emphasized the importance of this year as a turning point for the bank, aiming to expand access to credit for underserved customers.
