NCBA, a leading financial institution, has announced a significant expansion milestone with the inauguration of its latest branch in the bustling Eastleigh neighbourhood. 

The new branch is strategically located at the recently opened Business Bay Square Mall, aiming to tap into the thriving business community in the area. 

This move underscores NCBA's commitment to expanding its retail banking portfolio while providing accessible financial solutions to its diverse customer base.

The establishment of the Eastleigh branch comes on the heels of the successful launch of NCBA's Kahawa Sukari branch last month, showcasing the bank's dynamic growth and its dedication to addressing a wide range of financial needs across the country.

Tirus Mwithiga, Group Director for Retail Banking at NCBA, emphasised the significance of this branch expansion initiative in meeting the evolving requirements of customers. 

He stated that this expansion reflects NCBA's dedication to being a trusted financial partner on customers' journeys.

"As NCBA, we are deeply committed to contributing to economic growth and prosperity in the region. Our goal is to deliver top-notch financial solutions that are both globally innovative and locally tailored," Mwithiga said. 

He also highlighted the potential of Eastleigh, a vital contributor to Nairobi County revenues, to become a cornerstone of the country's growth.

Mwithiga underscored NCBA's focus on supporting local enterprises, particularly Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), which play a pivotal role in economic dynamism, innovation, and job creation. 

The Eastleigh branch offers a comprehensive suite of banking solutions, encompassing credit facilities for business expansion, corporate banking services, retail offerings, and forex services.

With a strong presence in asset finance, NCBA is committed to bolstering the construction industry in the region. 

The bank's Asset Finance division empowers individuals, SMEs, and corporations to acquire assets, including motor vehicles, through swift and flexible financing solutions.

NCBA's commitment extends across diverse sectors such as retail trade, hardware, education, healthcare, and more. 

With a well-established footprint in both corporate and retail banking throughout the nation, NCBA remains dedicated to propelling businesses and individuals towards prosperity.

He emphasised the importance of financial inclusivity in fostering equitable economic expansion and prosperity.

The inauguration of the NCBA Eastleigh branch, which aims to provide financial solutions to over 2000 SMEs in the mall, further underscores NCBA's strategic role in driving regional economic advancement and contributing significantly to Nairobi County's overall growth trajectory.

Eastleigh's substantial contribution, amounting to nearly 30 per cent of Nairobi County's revenues, underscores the critical role of this community in propelling the economy of the county and the nation as a whole.

NCBA has set an ambitious vision for 2023, aiming to elevate its branch network by launching an additional ten branches by year-end. 

This initiative solidifies the bank's commitment to fostering economic growth and prosperity while serving as a reliable financial partner to its customers.
