Banks asses what stressors could destroy capital buffers; Kiwibank lifted its home loans business; Advisers wrote 63% of Westpac's new mortgages

The Reserve Bank has had 13 banks design “severe but plausible” stress tests that would cause their capital to drop below regulatory minimums and the results show that it would take a set of more severe stresses than RBNZ's own stress scenarios. [READ ON]

Kiwibank has lifted its home loans business to now have an 8% market share, with about 64% of its mortgage business originated by advisers. [See here]

ASB's profit, mortgage market share dips

ASB Bank's December quarter profit slipped, as did its share of the mortgage market.

Thursday, March 18th 2010, 9:18AM 1 Comment

by Jenny Ruth

ASB's December quarter general disclosure statement (GDS) showed net profit slipped 20.8% to $144 million in the three months ended December compared with the same three months a year earlier, mainly because other income, which includes fees and fair value gains and losses on trading assets, fell 31.4% to $118 million.

Net interest income was up 1.6% to $247 million in the three months.

The bank's result for the six months ended December was a $10 million net loss, reflecting a $158 million tax charge on its structured finance transactions following High Court judgements against two other banks.

ASB's charges against profit for bad loans rose slightly to $50 million for the quarter compared with $48 million in the year-earlier quarter. Of the latest quarter's charges, $24 million related to residential mortgages.

ASB's mortgage book grew $246 million to $37.71 billion in the three months and it had another $4.55 billion in off balance sheet mortgages, mostly loans approved but not yet drawn down. Using Reserve Bank figures as a proxy for the market, ASB's new lending accounted for 15.9% of all new lending by registered banks in the three months.

That meant its share of the market eased to 23.26% at December 31 from 23.33% at September 30.

ASB's mortgages with loan-to-value ratios (LVRs) above 80% fell to 14.7% of its book from 15.3% at September 30.

bad or good for ASB?
ASB should learn from other banks, decrease interest rate, otherwise will lose more business....
