In a rapidly evolving business environment marked by digital transformation and global economic shifts, NCBA Bank is positioning itself as a key driver of corporate growth in Kenya and across East Africa.
Through its robust Corporate Banking division, the lender continues to empower enterprises with innovative and client-focused financial solutions.
According to NCBA Group Director of Corporate and Investment Banking, Tirus Mwithiga, the division is performing strongly this year, buoyed by dropping interest rates and a stable dollar that have revived lending demand. “We’ve seen renewed project activity across manufacturing, energy, agribusiness, and transport,” he said, adding that the bank is also adapting to new pricing mechanisms while introducing creative financing options, including PSV asset finance and ecosystem support for manufacturers.
Among NCBA’s recent innovations is NCBA CONNECTPLUS, a revamped digital platform unveiled by Sally Chege, Director of Transactional Banking. “This omni-channel platform simplifies the experience for our business customers,” she explained. “It’s web-based and mobile-enabled, offering faster payments, real-time visibility, customizable dashboards, and enhanced security.”
Beyond digital convenience, NCBA’s corporate offerings span trade finance, cash management, treasury, and capital solutions. Its trade finance services, such as letters of credit and export financing, enable seamless cross-border transactions. Meanwhile, its cash management and treasury tools help firms optimize liquidity and automate payrolls, while tailored lending products like syndicated loans and structured finance support business expansion in line with ESG principles.
NCBA’s digital ecosystem, anchored by the Business Online platform, allows clients to manage accounts and trade operations around the clock, underscoring the bank’s commitment to efficiency and security.
As Kenya’s economy projects a 5.5% GDP growth in 2025, NCBA is poised to play an instrumental role. “Your ambition deserves a bank that matches it,” the bank asserts.
With regulatory backing from the Central Bank of Kenya and a focus on ethical, inclusive, and digital-first banking, NCBA continues to redefine corporate finance, building tomorrow, today.
