Co-operative Bank of Kenya has approved an interim dividend of KSh1.50 per share, representing a 50 per cent increase from the KSh1 paid to shareholders last year.
The dividend will be payable to shareholders whose names appear in the company’s register as of the close of business on November 25, 2026, with payment scheduled for December 4, 2026.
The announcement comes as the Co-operative Bank Group reports continued growth in its operations, supported by a customer base of more than 10 million account holders.
In its Q3 2026 financial results, the lender said its total asset base had expanded to more than KSh907 billion, highlighting its growing balance sheet and position in the financial services sector.
The bank attributed its growth to its universal banking model, customer-focused service delivery, digital banking infrastructure and contributions from its subsidiaries.
Co-op Bank said its customer experience strategy, branded ‘The Co-op Bank Way’, remains central to its operations, with an emphasis on delivering consistent services across its various customer touchpoints.
The lender also highlighted its digital presence, supported by an integrated omni-channel platform that allows customers to access banking services through different delivery channels.
The Group further pointed to its subsidiaries as an important contributor to its overall business performance, strengthening its presence across different segments of the financial services industry.
Co-op Bank’s position is also supported by its relationship with Africa’s co-operative movement, which has approximately 15 million members, providing the lender with extensive community networks and business opportunities.
The bank said these advantages, together with its growing customer base and balance sheet, continue to support its strategic priorities of resilience, expansion and sustainable growth.
The latest interim dividend increase provides shareholders with a higher payout as the lender continues to strengthen its operations and expand its reach across the region.
