The United Bank Reports Strong Q1 2026 Results as Total Loan Portfolio Surges 18%
The United Bank has officially published its standalone financial statements for the fiscal period ending March 31, 2026. The financial disclosure highlights robust growth rates across primary balance sheet indicators, led by total assets, deposits, and loan portfolios, reflecting the bank's sustained execution of its regional expansion strategy and its enhanced capacity to back diverse economic sectors.
Corporate Financing Drives Portfolio Acceleration Financial metrics revealed that total gross loans and facilities climbed to EGP 45.1 billion at the end of March 2026, compared to approximately EGP 38.3 billion recorded at the close of December 2025. This represents an absolute increase of EGP 6.8 billion, yielding a quarterly growth rate of 18%.
The upward trajectory was primarily driven by substantial expansion within the corporate lending segment, which jumped to EGP 35.3 billion at the end of Q1 2026, up from EGP 28.9 billion in December 2025—a net gain of EGP 6.4 billion or 22%. This surge underscores the financial institution's focus on underwriting industrial and productive economic operations, supporting enterprises operating across critical national industries.
Retail Banking and Financial Inclusion Metrics Concurrently, consumer lending portfolios scaled up to EGP 9.8 billion at the end of March 2026, compared to EGP 9.4 billion at the close of December 2025. This minor optimization reflects a net growth of EGP 400 million, or 4%. The bank attributed this retail steadying to its continuous rollout of versatile personal financing solutions and consumer banking products designed to capture diverse demographic segments while advancing national financial inclusion benchmarks.
