Everything you need to know about KBA

What is the Kenya Bankers Association (KBA)?

KBA is the umbrella body of the banking industry in Kenya, representing 46 licensed banks regulated by the Central Bank of Kenya. It advocates for the industry and drives policy, innovation, and development.

Today, KBA promotes a strong and professional banking sector through advocacy, industry development, innovation, public education, and stakeholder engagement.

KBA’s members include all licensed and regulated commercial banks in Kenya, as well as a few microfinance and mortgage finance institutions approved by the CBK.

KBA provides resources such as the Total Cost of Credit (TCC) tool, consumer guides, and financial literacy initiatives to help Kenyans make informed banking decisions.

No, KBA is not a regulatory body. The industry regulator is the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). KBA works in partnership with CBK and other stakeholders to support regulatory compliance and industry growth.

KBA spearheads innovation through platforms like PesaLink, open banking discussions, digital finance research, and the promotion of sustainable banking practices.
