Airtel Payments Bank announced strong financial results for fiscal year 2026, reporting a 73% increase in net profit to ₹109 crore. This compares to ₹63 crore in the prior fiscal year. Revenue climbed to ₹3,207 crore, a rise from ₹2,709 crore in FY25.
The bank experienced a significant 26% growth in customer balances, reaching ₹4,612 crore. This increase is partly due to the popularity of its "Safe Second Account," especially in urban areas. Airtel Payments Bank is becoming a favored digital banking choice as customers use it more for daily digital transactions and recurring payments, leading to higher engagement. This has positioned the bank as the second-largest provider of UPI autopay mandates.
