MIAMI, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inter&Co Inc. (NASDAQ: INTR), the leading super app providing financial and digital commerce services to over 46 million customers, today reported its results for the third quarter of 2026.

3Q26 Highlights:

Inter delivered record net income in 3Q26, supported by a larger and more engaged client base and confirming the consistency of its model across cycles. Clients reached 46.8 million, of which 27.1 million are active; net revenue reached US$483 million (R$2.7 billion), up 26% year-over-year; gross ARPAC reached US$10.7 (R$59.7) per month, a new high; and Pix market share continues to be robust at 9%, a testament to the strength of Inter’s transactional platform. The result reflects a model in which a solid banking base is complemented by an integrated ecosystem of financial and lifestyle services.

  • Net Income: Net income reached US$76.1 million (R$425 million), up 26% year-over-year, a new record and the 14th consecutive quarter of growth.
  • Credit Growth: The expanded credit portfolio reached US$10.39 billion (R$58.1 billion), up 25% year-over-year, versus 8.6% for the Brazilian credit market.
  • Asset Quality: Cost of Risk was stable at 5.9%, flat versus 2Q26.
  • Net Interest Margin: NIM reached 9.96%, approximately 70 bps above 3Q25, supported by the growth of a healthy, diversified and highly collateralized loan portfolio.
  • Efficiency Ratio: The efficiency ratio reached 41.9%, a 322 bps improvement year-over-year, as expenses grew 17% against 26% growth in net revenue.

João Vitor Menin, Global CEO of Inter&Co, commented:

“Our 3Q26 results reflect the strength of the model we have built over the last ten years. The strength of our banking, paired with top-class technology, feeds our customer flywheel, where every interaction feeds the next. The more a client’s financial life sits with Inter, the more we learn, and the better we serve that client. After ten years and a few credit cycles, I can say with confidence that the BanTech model works.”

He added: “Our model stands on four pillars: a fortress balance sheet, with 70% of our loan book secured; alignment with the direction of the regulator; a growing client franchise; and a technology base advancing with AI, with more than 700 models in production and Seven, our multi-agent AI tool for clients, resolving about 85% of client requests without human support.”

He concluded: “We have also strengthened our leadership structure to accelerate growth and profitability: Francisco Santos, who recently joined Inter as Chief Growth Officer, will be focused on growth and monetization in Brazil; Alexandre Riccio, now our Chief Operating Officer, focused on credit underwriting and operational excellence; and Santiago Stel, who continues as CFO, focused on profitability and capital allocation. With robust capital, a strong brand and a talented team, we are well positioned to deliver continued growth and sustainable profitability in the years to come.”

Santiago Stel, CFO of Inter&Co, said: “This quarter shows growth, margin, and efficiency moving together. Net revenue grew 26% year-over-year while expenses grew 17%, taking our efficiency ratio to 41.9%, 322 basis points better than a year ago. NIM 2.0 reached about 10%, up around 70 basis points year-over-year, even with lower inflation in the quarter. IPCA was 2.3%, versus 5.8% in 2Q26, which reduces the income from our inflation-linked assets.”

Stel continued: “We have seen the stabilization of asset quality. Cost of Risk was flat at 5.9%, even with the market deteriorating, showcasing the strength of our conservative and responsible approach to credit, with 70% of our loan book secured, and our ability to perform across different cycles. Looking ahead, we expect continued improvement, especially in private payroll, as the product is gaining operational maturity.”
