Kingdom Bank has expanded its footprint with the opening of its 24th branch in Bungoma Town, marking another milestone in the Bank’s mission to deepen financial inclusion and empower small businesses across Kenya.
The new branch is located at the Yogi Building, Ground Floor, along Moi Avenue Road, placing it at the heart of Bungoma’s bustling commercial district.
Bungoma is a vibrant transit town with heavy commercial activity driven by its proximity to the Malaba border point, making it a key hub for trade and cross-border business. The county is also regarded as a key agricultural powerhouse for the country, contributing significantly to the production of maize, sugarcane, peanuts and bananas.
The branch will provide agriculture financing tailored for the peculiar needs of customers, including asset financing for tractors, farm machinery and equipment to support agribusiness productivity. Beyond agriculture, Bungoma is home to a growing healthcare sector anchored on government and private institutions, creating opportunities for medical suppliers and traders who will benefit from the Bank’s Credit Lines, Trade Finance and Working Capital Solutions.
The county’s hospitality industry, with its plush hotels and accommodation facilities, also stands to gain from Kingdom Bank’s payment collections and cash management solutions, while the bustling Chwele Market, one of the region’s largest open-air markets, offers opportunities to expand access to Faidi Dada, the Bank’s flagship women-focused banking solution.
Speaking during the opening of the branch, Kingdom Bank Managing Director, Mr. Anthony Mburu, said, “We are pleased to establish a presence in Bungoma, a county with immense potential across agriculture, health, trade and hospitality. This branch reflects our strategic positioning as the MSME Bank, dedicated to delivering flexible and affordable financial solutions. We believe Bungoma’s entrepreneurs, farmers and business owners will find a reliable partner in Kingdom Bank as they grow their enterprises.”
Customers in Bungoma will have access not only to in-branch services but also to Kingdom Bank’s digital channels as well as Co-operative Bank’s ATMs and Co-op Kwa Jirani agents nationwide.
Kingdom Bank Bungoma branch is expected to play a central role in enhancing service delivery, expanding market share and driving Kingdom Bank’s ambition to be the financial partner of choice for MSMEs and retail customers across Kenya.
