Bigbank's Financial Results for July 2023

Teade

July 2023 was characterized by continued strong growth and solid profit numbers
for Bigbank.

In terms of loans, the portfolios of business loans, home loans and consumer
loans grew in equal volumes. On the side of deposits, the growth was higher in
the savings deposit, where the volume of deposits grew the most among Dutch
customers, but the savings deposit in Finland, which entered the market at the
end of May, has also picked up nicely.

While the Euribor level remained stable in July, the increase in interest rates
on deposits continued in the markets of Bigbank's operations. As Bigbank
continues to keep its deposit rates at the top of the market, it allows
Bigbank's deposit customers to increasingly benefit from the rising interest
rate environment.
The fact that the credit quality of Bigbank's loan portfolio remains at a strong
level and the loan customers have not encountered significant difficulties in
servicing their obligations is also pleasing.

July's net interest income of 8.7 million as well as net profit of 3.7 million
were record figures for Bigbank in 2023 by month.

Bigbank's financial results for July 2023:

  * Deposits from customers and loans raised grew by 423 million euros on year,

    euros (+18%).
  * In the first seven months of the year, the volume of net loan claims and
