It is part of the KCB Group, which comprises KCB Kenya, KCB Tanzania and Savings and Loan (S&L) Kenya, KCB Uganda Limited and KCB Rwanda and is backed by the financial stability and favourable heritage of Kenya’s longest established banking organization that has been in operation for over 100 years. KCB Kenya, KCB Tanzania, KCB Sudan, KCB Uganda and KCB Rwanda offer a wide range of banking and financial services, specializing in the provision of medium and long-term finance whereas S&L specializes in mortgage financing. KCB Sudan now has six branches.
Its establishment is in line with the Bank’s regional expansion strategy, which is underpinned by its vision to be the “preferred provider of financial solutions in Africa with a global reach”. KCB Sudan has three branches in Juba and one each in Rumbek, Yei and Bentiu. It has plans to expand to other viable business centers of Southern Sudan such as Yambio, Bor, Torit, Wau, Kuajok, Nimule, Aweil and Malakal in a short period of time to come. As part of this strategy, KCB has already established other subsidiaries in Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania and possibly, Burundi.
