Kingdom Bank has today opened its 25th branch in Kariobangi, Nairobi County, marking another milestone in its mission to expand access to financial services for Kenya’s growing community of entrepreneurs, fabricators, and small business owners.
The new branch, located on the Ground Floor of Marphic Ark Hotel along Outering Road, brings the bank closer to one of Nairobi’s most industrious communities.
Kariobangi is home to thousands of traders, artisans, and small-scale manufacturers who form the heartbeat of Nairobi’s Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSME) sector.
Speaking during the launch, Kingdom Bank Managing Director and CEO Anthony Mburu said the expansion is part of the bank’s long-term strategy to strengthen its presence in key business hubs across the country.
“Kariobangi represents the true spirit of Kenya’s enterprise — hardworking people who keep Nairobi running every single day,” said Mr. Mburu. “By opening our 25th branch here, we are deepening our connection with the business communities that drive our economy. Our goal is to be a financial partner who is accessible and available to support the growth of business.”
The new branch will focus on serving MSMEs, retail customers, and select corporates, reflecting the diverse economic ecosystem of Kariobangi.
Special attention will be given to light industries that have made the area famous, including woodwork, metal fabrication, mechanical repairs, and creative manufacturing.
To support these businesses, Kingdom Bank will offer a wide range of tailored financial solutions, including business loans, asset financing, Faidi Dada (women banking solution), and insurance products designed to help traders protect their stock, tools, and equipment.
The bank also plans to roll out financial literacy programs through its MSME Clinics, aimed at helping small businesses manage growth, improve record-keeping, and access credit more easily.
“Our vision as Kingdom Bank is to walk hand in hand with everyday Kenyans working hard to earn an honest living — the entrepreneurs, youth, women, and families who make our cities thrive,” added Mr. Mburu. “Through this new branch, we are bringing banking closer to where real work happens, reaffirming our role as one of Kenya’s leading MSME-focused banks.”
The launch of the Kariobangi branch comes just weeks after Kingdom Bank opened its 24th branch in Bungoma, underscoring its strong growth trajectory and continued investment in communities that power Kenya’s economy from the grassroots.
