The new branch offers tailored services, including asset finance, women’s banking, business financing, trade services, loan facilities, and digital banking solutions to enhance customer convenience.
“Our focus remains on retail banking. Kilifi’s growing demand for financial services presents a compelling opportunity to support the local business community’s growth,” said Family Bank CEO Nancy Njau.
She added, “This expansion reflects our commitment to empowering SMEs and strengthening our position as the preferred bank for Biashara. Under our 2025–2029 Strategic Plan, we are optimizing our branch network and launching SME-specific hubs that integrate physical locations with innovative digital solutions.”
Family Bank also relocated its Kangemi, Kisii, and Ngara branches to modern, purpose-built premises to deliver accessible, customer-centric banking experiences.
