Commonwealth Bank Limited gave notice that its Board of Directors has declared a third-quarter cash dividend of $0.03 per ordinary share, amounting to approximately $9 million. The dividend will be payable on September 30, 2025, to shareholders of record as of September 23, 2025.

Prior to this declaration, the Bank had already returned approximately $35 million in cash to shareholders through June 30, 2025. With the inclusion of the third-quarter dividend to be paid on September 30, total cash distributions to shareholders in 2025 will rise to approximately $44 million.  Over the 18 months ended June 30, 2025, Commonwealth Bank has paid a cumulative BSD $82 million in dividends, underscoring its consistent track record of shareholder returns.

Executive Chairman Mr. William B. Sands, Jr. stated, “Over the years, Commonwealth Bank has delivered consistent quarterly dividends, underscoring the Bank’s commitment to balancing reliable shareholder returns with prudent capital management.”

Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer Ms. Tangela Albury added, “Commonwealth Bank’s ability to sustain quarterly dividends, even during periods of economic challenge and uncertainty, demonstrates the strength of our earnings engine and disciplined approach to capital management. Our core business continues to deliver strong net interest income, while loan quality remains sound and credit losses are well-contained. These fundamentals provide the earnings coverage necessary to sustain dividends at current levels.”

Ms. Albury further emphasised the Bank’s financial resilience, “Importantly, post-dividend, our capital adequacy and liquidity ratios remain comfortably above both regulatory minima and our internal risk appetite thresholds. This ensures we preserve strategic flexibility — enabling us to reward shareholders while simultaneously reinvesting in our digital capabilities, operational resilience, and growth initiatives.”

Reflecting on the foundation of the Bank’s success, Executive Chairman Sands noted:
“The true strength of Commonwealth Bank lies with our employees, whose hard work, professionalism, and commitment to excellence continue to drive us forward. Their dedication to our customers, embrace of innovation, and steadfast stewardship of our resources make Commonwealth Bank not only a market leader, but also a trusted financial partner across The Bahamas.”
