The lender attributed the net profit rise to the increasing income from net interest margin.

The non-performing loan rate of the bank dropped to 0.82 percent at the end of September from 0.86 percent at the end of June, according to the Beijing-based lender.

Equities of the Shanghai-listed bank rose 2.42 percent to 7.63 yuan per share on Tuesday.
