Asset quality also remained broadly stable, with a non-performing loan (NPL) ratio controlled below 2%. Moody’s forecasts the Bank’s new delinquencies will remain low over the next 12-18 months, given its adequate track record in asset quality management.
Moody’s noted that SeABank’s profitability improved year-on-year in the first half of 2025, driven by the Bank’s business portfolio restructuring and enhanced operational efficiency.
