Access Bank Plc has just announced its acquisition of National Bank of Kenya Limited (a subsidiary of KCB group), marking a tremendous milestone in the organisation’s path to progress.
Says Access Bank: “Our strengthened presence in Kenya provides more opportunities for trans-African trade and financial inclusion, fostering economic growth and prosperity across borders. By boosting Nigerian-Kenyan businesses, we are fueling collaboration that will drive our economies forward”.
Amaechi Michael Okobi (Chief Brand and Communications Officer for Access Corporation) had a word to add: “Safe to say that this positions us as a major player in East Africa’s banking landscape. By joining forces, we’re not just redefining banking, we’re actively rewriting the African narrative. So, if you haven’t been to Kenya, and can, this is a great time to go. Bonus points if you bank with us.”
Access Bank has received several accolades for empowering businesses across Africa to reach new heights. One such recognition is the NEXUS 2023 Purpose Award for the Best Commercial Bank in Financial Inclusion.
