João Vitor Menin, Global CEO of Inter&Co, commented:

“Inter, by design, embodies the transformation of the banking industry. From our focus on innovation and efficient digital distribution of financial products and services, to expanding benefits and lowering costs for all our clients, we are building trust and long-term relationships that will be mutually rewarding for years to come.”

Alexandre Riccio, Brazil CEO of Inter&Co, highlighted the opportunities that lie ahead:

“We are particularly excited about the engagement with peer-to-peer payments (Pix) in Brazil, the significant uptake of our loyalty program Loop, and the record number of clients using our credit products. The new Private Payroll offering represents a key opportunity for Inter. It aligns perfectly with our business model: digital, low-cost distribution, scalable, and collateralized, with minimal overlap with our other consumer credit products.”

In addition, Inter continues to benefit from a diversified credit model, with improving underwriting resulting in another decrease in NPL ratio to 4.1%.

“As we enter the third year of the 60/30/30 plan, we are proud that our results reflect the dedication, focus, and effectiveness of our team in implementing our strategy, delivering consistent, resilient growth and profitability.”
