SunTrust Bank Nigeria Limited has announced a Profit Before Tax of N1.5 billion for the financial year ended December 31, 2023. This was disclosed in the Bank’s 2023 Audited financial results, now available on its official website.

Total deposit liabilities saw a significant rise of 21%, growing from N82 billion in 2022 to N104 billion in 2023. Similarly, net interest income doubled from N2.8 billion in 2022 to N5.4 billion in 2023, indicating a 100% increase. The Bank’s share capital also saw a substantial increase of 41%, from N11.8 billion in 2022 to N20 billion in 2023.
