Credit Bank is eying Sh4.5 billion fresh capital through a private placement, in the race to comply with the new capital rules that require commercial lenders to have at least Sh3 billion core capital by the end of this month.

The lender, which ended September with core capital of Sh1.23 billion, now needs at least Sh1.77 billion to comply with the new law.
