Kina Bank was established in Papua New Guinea in 1985 as a diversified financial services company. We’re listed on both the Australian and Port Moresby Stock Exchanges and are distinguished for our funds administration, funds management and stockbroking, which complement our banking services.
Kina Bank service retail, commercial and SME customers across the country and offer end-to-end financial solutions from savings accounts to small business loans, investments to mortgages, financial advice and investment management. Kina Bank are committed to delivering exceptional service and this is what sets us apart in the market.
In June 2018, Kina Bank’s founding and major shareholder Fu Shan Investment Ltd sold their entire stake in Kina Bank. The sell-down, managed by Morgans Financial Ltd, prompted strong demand from both PNG and overseas investors. Shares were bought by a range of new and existing institutional and retail investors in Papua New Guinea and Australia.
Kina Bank also announced the proposed acquisition of ANZ PNG’s retail, commercial and SME businesses, which would include all retail branches, ATMs and EFTPOS terminals. The proposed acquisition will make Kina Bank the second largest bank in PNG and a genuine, better alternative banking option for customers and communities. With a comprehensive national footprint Kina Bank will expand our distribution network and enhance our suite of products and services. It will also bring many new jobs to PNG which are currently performed off-shore.
Our aspiration is to be PNG’s leading digital bank and our dynamic approach means Kina Bank is excited to be at the forefront of new technologies. Kina Bank banking platform is one of the newest and most contemporary in the region with a world-leading digital capability and Kina Bank offer best-in-class products such as our mobile banking app and superannuation app, as well as exceptional service.
Kina Bank operates through two customer focused business divisions: Wealth Management and Banking.
Assuming the lack of a bad debt apocalypse, the big banks certainly look cheap. But the smaller banks look even cheaper, which suggests there’s better value at the minnow end which is more oriented to mortgages than business lending.

December Quarterly Report: Q2 FY2023Looking past the rain – there’s a rainbow.TerraCom released their operating results for the December quarter FY2023 with operating metrics being in line with our forecasts. Unseasonal rains in both Australia and South Africa contributed to operational and logistical issues across all mines, however guidance for annual production at Blair Athol is unaffected and highlights the quality of TerraCom’s skills in operational management. We continue to like the stable operating metrics around the company’s Australian operations and see potential for the South African operations to benefit from increased management focus given the rationalisation of operations following the closure of the Ubuntu mine. Corporate Connects overall financials remain unchanged as does our target price of $1.35 share. We maintain our forecast for a fully franked quarterly dividend of 7.5c/share to be paid in the March and June quarters of FY2023. |

DOWNLOAD RESEARCH REPORTSigns MOU with Ford Company – Kachi is now sold out!Lake Resources (LKE. ASX) – LKE has signed two non-binding MOU’s in the space of 10 days. Ford Company (Ford) has signed an MOU for ~25,000t/year and last week Hanwa, a Japanese commodity trader signed a MOU for up to 25,000t/year. Subject to execution, this is an amazing feat as Ford and Hanwa are prepared to enter into longer-term strategic partnerships with LKE.

Promising exploration and development update while SOP prices continue to riseTwo recent gravity surveys have considerably exceeded expectations and revealed potential for extensions to the existing MRE at Lake Throssell, plus a material growth opportunity at Lake Yeo. This reinforces the potential for a multi-decade, Tier-1 SOP production hub based around Lake Throssell. TMG is currently completing work towards the PFS due early 2023, including drilling to start in Q3 2022, evaporation trials and permitting activities. Results from these programs will support the PFS and any future resource upgrade. Benchmark SOP prices have risen to ~US$940/t due to recent geopolitical developments. The Oct 2021 Scoping Study assumed a SOP price of US$550/t and contained a sensitivity analysis showing every 10% increase in price drives a +$144m increase in the project NPV of $364m. The c.70% increase above the Scoping Study thus implies a project NPV of ~$1.4bn. |
