Homa Bay County’s economic landscape has received a significant boost with the opening of NCBA’s new branch, designed to bring vital banking services closer to the local community.

Located at Glory Plaza, the branch officially opened its doors in January 2024, and since then, it has attracted over 1,000 new accounts—a clear indication of the demand for accessible financial services in the area.

Tirus Mwithiga, NCBA’s Group Director of Retail Banking, shared the bank’s vision for the new branch.

“The launch of this branch reflects our commitment to bringing our services closer to our customers," Mwithiga stated.
