NAIROBI, Mar 11 – KCB Group reported an 11% increase in its full-year 2025 pre-tax profit, supported by strong growth in interest income across its regional banking operations.
The lender said pre-tax profit rose to 90.9 billion Kenyan shillings, equivalent to about $703.8 million, compared with 82 billion shillings recorded the previous year.
Headquartered in Kenya, KCB Group is one of East Africa’s largest banking institutions and has steadily expanded its footprint across the continent.
The bank currently operates in several African markets, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Sudan, Uganda and Burundi.
The improved financial performance reflects stronger lending activity and higher interest income across these markets, which helped lift overall profitability for the group during the year.
KCB’s results highlight the continued growth of regional banking groups in Africa as financial institutions expand across borders to capture new markets and diversify revenue streams.
