KCB Group net profit rose 10.7 percent to Sh17.81 billion in the first three months of the year on the back of increased interest and non-interest income.
The net profit for the quarter ended March 2026 was a rise from Sh16.09 billion posted in the preceding similar period last year when the group still had National Bank of Kenya (NBK) as a subsidiary. KCB sold NBK in May last year to Nigeria’s Access Bank Group.
