AlBilad‟s Net Financing/Customer Deposits ratio stood at c.77% as of 4Q14 (75% in 3Q14) and indicates that AlBilad has sufficient space to grow its financing portfolio. As per SAMA data, the group added 4 new branches, 12 new ATMs and 75 new POS terminals in the first

AlBilad‟s low cost funding base (demand deposits c.72% of total Customer Deposits vs. System: 62% as at end 3Q 2014) and adequately capitalized balance sheet (Tier I ratio of 15.6% as at end 3Q 2014) is supporting its aggressive lending strategy. However, potentially
