Guaranty Trust Bank has rejected a Sh33.18 million fine by the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) for illegally charging a corporate client interest on a credit facility after failing to agree on renewal terms.

GT Bank had been accused of unconscionable conduct against its customer, ASL Limited, a manufacturing firm that had maintained a credit line with the lender since 2021.
