KCB Group will pay its shareholders Sh12.85 billion in dividends for the half year to June 2024, half of which is from a special dividend from the proceeds of the sale of National Bank of Kenya (NBK) to Nigeria’s top lender Access Bank Plc in May.

The tier one bank, which on Wednesday announced an 8.1 percent growth in net profit to Sh31.5 billion for the half-year period, said it will pay an interim dividend of Sh2 per share, and a special dividend of a similar amount.
