Sidian head hunts Chase staff to drive SME unit

Sidian Bank has poached approximately 38 staff from the collapsed Chase Bank, pointing to the lender’s intention to deepen its ties with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The Centum-owned bank formerly known as K-Rep has also head-hunted a similar number of employees from banks such as Equity, CfC Stanbic and KCB, taking up key positions of branch, operations and regional managers.
