Group Director, Retail Banking, Dennis Njau commented “It is a proud moment to mark the official opening of our 99th branch in Kawangware, a community that reflects the energy and entrepreneurial spirit of Kenya’s SME and retail sector. At NCBA, we are committed to supporting SMEs and growing with the communities we serve aligned with our strategy of scaling up retail banking by being the primary bank for SME and retail customers. Through our robust product offering—including digital account onboarding, mobile loans, asset finance, and SME-focused tools like NCBA tills—we are making financial services more accessible and impactful.”
NCBA Kawangware is financing sectors such as transport, consumer goods, retail and trade, food and hospitality, real estate, education, and faith-based institutions.
“This branch is not just a milestone, but a meaningful step in deepening our collaboration with the County Government as we work together to drive financial inclusion, support local enterprise, and empower the dreams of our people.” Njau Added.
The branch is also driving the growth of businesses, particularly in the informal sector, as proximity to a reliable financial institution encourages businesses to open accounts and take up cash management tools, such as NCBA Tills. Additionally, the Group’s focus on digitising its services has resulted in customers experiencing fast, efficient, and safe transactions.
