Berhan Bank posted a pre-tax profit of 2.5 billion birr for the 2024/25 fiscal year, marking a 54.7 percent return on a single share, the bank announced during its 16th Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held at the Millennium Hall in Addis Ababa on October 28, 2025.

Board Chairperson Eligo Legesse said the result represents a 66.5 percent increase — or 1 billion birr — compared with the previous fiscal year. Total assets at the end of the fiscal year reached 58.9 billion birr, up 28.1 percent year on year, while overall capital grew to 8.5 billion birr, a 20 percent increase from 2023/24. The bank’s paid-up capital now exceeds 5 billion birr, meeting the minimum requirement set by the National Bank of Ethiopia for a single bank.

In addition to strong financial results, the lender completed its three-year strategic plan, implementing digital transformation initiatives, upgrading its core banking system, and enhancing customer service. The strategy prioritised the expansion of innovative digital banking products, branch infrastructure, and new technology adoption.

The bank said these initiatives will continue in the next fiscal year, focusing on further capital growth, improved customer service, and the scaling of digital and innovative banking solutions.
