Financial Services

The banking and financial service industries in Kenya are well developed and have enjoyed exponential growth alongside the country’s booming economy. 

According to the World Bank, Kenya’s financial sector is the third largest in sub-Saharan Africa, making a significant contribution to economic growth and job creation. The government’s Vision 2030 identifies access to finance as critical to enhancing the prospects for growth, regional competitiveness and shared prosperity.
