stc Bank, 85%-owned by Saudi Telecom Co. (stc), achieved record profit margins in Q4 2023, rising by 20.6% to reach 32.8%, compared to 12.3% the previous year.

 

This surge was attributed to a reduction in direct costs of revenues, which decreased by more than 23% compared to Q4 2022, as a result of cancelling some promotional offers by the bank such as bank transfer fees.

 

Revenues also saw a slight increase, reaching SAR 294.6 million in Q4 2023, compared to SAR 293.3 million in the year-ago period.
