YEARS

OF EXPERIENCE

As an industry, we remain committed to driving sustainable growth, fostering innovation, and enhancing efficiency for the overall benefit of the banking public. Our focus is on implementing strategies that not only improve financial performance but also support long-term environmental and social impact.

Raimond Molenje

Chief Executive Officer

The current wave of housing development is predominantly geared towards serving the mid-market segment, while the lower-income market continues to face significant supply challenges. These constraints are largely driven by a growing preference among property developers to rent out units rather than sell them outright.

Dr. Samuel Tiriongo

Director of Research, Kenya Bankers Association

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the call for enhanced corporate accountability and transparency has never been more urgent. Organizations are increasingly expected to uphold ethical practices, engage stakeholders meaningfully, and demonstrate a commitment to responsible governance. We applaud the Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) for taking bold and proactive steps in this direction.

Carole Kariuki

Chief Executive Officer, KEPSA

As part of our shared vision to build a dynamic and resilient banking sector, both within Kenya and across the region, we remain committed to engaging collaboratively with all economic stakeholders to advance the national development agenda. Our efforts are driven by the understanding that financial services play a pivotal role in enabling growth across every sector of the economy—from agriculture and manufacturing to trade and innovation.
