Bankinter will propose the largest dividend in its history at the Annual General Meeting: 545 million euros in cash
The Bank will propose the payment on 2 April of a final dividend of 0.15 euros per share, making a total dividend of 0.606 euros per share for 2025.
The total amount of 545 million euros is equivalent to 50% of the profit and reinforces a stable and predictable shareholder remuneration policy.
The Bank is convening its Annual General Meeting on 26 March in a virtual format to facilitate shareholder attendance and for efficiency reasons.
Bankinter's board of directors will submit several items on the agenda to the Annual General Meeting, convened for 26 March. Among them is the approval of a historic dividend for the Bank's shareholders, which will amount to 544.9 million euros.
Specifically, of the total dividend for 2025 only the payment of the final dividend remains, which is proposed at 0.15 euros gross per share and will be paid on 2 April. This last payment represents a distribution of 139.2 million euros, included within the overall dividend amount. Added to the two interim dividends paid on 25 June and 2 December 2025, the total gross dividend for the year stands at 0.606 euros per share, which at current prices represents a dividend yield of around 4.5%.
This amount will be paid in cash and represents a 50% payout, thus maintaining and consolidating Bankinter's traditional shareholder remuneration policy in a way that is predictable for investors.
Virtual format
On this occasion, the Annual General Meeting will be held exclusively online to enable all shareholders to attend and follow the proceedings under equal condition, thereby guaranteeing the full exercise of their rights in an agile, accessible and secure manner.
Bankinter has been promoting remote shareholder participation in the Annual General Meeting for the past few years through a remote attendance technology platform, which now makes it possible to hold a general meeting exclusively online. Part of the Bank's digital transformation process, the initiative also addresses efficiency criteria related to use of the entity's resources. Furthermore, it is aligned with the most advanced international corporate governance practices in benchmark jurisdictions such as the US and Europe, where a growing number of top-tier listed companies have adopted the format of exclusively virtual shareholder meetings as the norm.
Corporate governance and audit
Another item that will be submitted for approval at the Annual General Meeting is the motion to set the number of directors at 12, which is still below the maximum of 15 directors approved in the Bank's by-laws.
Lastly, the Bank will put to the vote the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores as the verifier of Bankinter Group sustainability information for the years 2026, 2027 and 2028. The re-election of this company as auditor of the accounts for fiscal years 2026, 2027 and 2028 will also be put to the vote.
The agreements that will be submitted to the Annual General reaffirm Bankinter's profitable growth model, financial strength and sustained commitment to creating value for shareholders and investors.
