List of Kenyan Banks Worth Over Ksh1 Trillion – Kenyans.co.ke

Kenya’s banks have grown in the recent past – partially due to their embrace of technology – some have become hubs of other institutions worldwide keen on learning and exchanging insights on banking models.
Through their penetration of most of Africa’s economies, KCB and Equity bank are now valued at more than Ksh1 trillion. 
Equity is currently the largest lender in the country, followed by KCB which has enjoyed the top position for decades.
Equity Bank’s financial results of 2022 indicate its total assets grew by 29 per cent to Ksh.1.3 trillion from Ksh.1 trillion in 2021.
The bank has been taking advantage of fintech to become a global player in terms of processing payments and enabling global trade with 98 per cent of its transactions taking place outside the branch.
The subsidiaries of Equity Bank are in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. 
Equity Bank is a subsidiary of Equity Group Holdings Limited which was formed way back in October 1984 as the Equity Building Society. Currently, Equity Bank has more than 15 million customers making it the largest bank in terms of the customer base in Africa and having nearly half of its bank accounts in Kenya.
It is trailed by KCB whose total assets are currently valued at Ksh1.02 trillion up from Ksh953 billion last year reflecting a 7 per cent jump.
