KCB Group has raised its interim dividend by 50% to Ksh3 per share after reporting a 14% increase in net profit to Ksh36.9 billion for the six months ended June 2026.
The dividend will see the lender distribute Ksh9.64 billion to shareholders, up from Ksh2 per share paid as an interim dividend last year. KCB said the higher payout reflects its commitment to increasing dividends from profits generated by its core business.
The bank’s total assets grew 16.8% to Ksh2.3 trillion, while gross loans increased 14.2% to Ksh1.3 trillion. Customer deposits also rose 15.1% to Ksh1.7 trillion.
KCB’s Kenyan business remained the main contributor, with its net profit rising 16% to Ksh26.5 billion.
