• Retained earnings were boosted by 10.3% to $1.08 billion and capital is well over the legislated requirement.
• Provision for credit losses continued to decrease by 126.8% due to more favourable economic forecasts along with lower delinquency and accounts written off.

Servus’s net interest income, other income and credit card book saw positive increases in the first quarter of 2022 as members make the most of positive market returns and maintain active retail behaviours. Meanwhile, operating expenses increased due to organizational restructuring activities.
