MyBucks - Balanced focus on growth and margins

Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven MyBucks (MBC) has made notable progress in recent months. The strategic partnership with NAGA is a key step in developing MBC’s digital banking business and builds on the H1 turnaround in banking results. These, along with improved cost ratios, partly countered the still burdensome level of financing costs, as the group swung into pre-tax profit from losses in the prior year. This takes the company a step closer to becoming net earnings positive. Debt refinancing costs are being reduced and a €11.7m gross private placing was undertaken in February. MBC is also well positioned for organic growth through the launch of new insurance and lending products and plans to integrate its TESS user experience product throughout its operations.
