The company successfully executed a £150 million share buyback in 2024 and announced plans for another buyback of up to £150 million in 2025, reflecting strong shareholder returns.
The NextGen strategy, focusing on financial inclusion, organizational efficiency, and tech and data, has been a key driver of success, with significant achievements in credit card issuance and digital expansion.
The company achieved a milestone of delivering loans to its 15 millionth customer, highlighting its commitment to financial inclusion.
