NIC Group hired 203 more employees last year, raising its staff count to 1,350, breaking ranks with most other lenders whose workforce has been shrinking partly due to branch closures and increased adoption of technology.
The uptick in the bank’s hiring has been linked to its opening of eight new branches- four along the Kenyan coastline in Diani, Kilifi, Malindi and Watamu and others in Kitale, Narok, Parklands and Lavington last year.
