List of Licensed Commercial Banks in Kenya, headquarters and their Contacts
Before Kenya gained independence back in 1963, We must agree that money moved from one party to another through chama's or the so-called bartered trade. You give me what you have, and I do so in return. But come to think of it, this process was tiresome, especially if the bargaining party loses interest in your Goods.

Slowly After having gained self-rule, the country was growing so fast. So there was a need to ensure that the country's economy remained stable. Thus, in 1966, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) promoted financial stability, exchange currencies, and More. It is also under this body that all other banks in the country are managed. In this guide today, we will take a look at all the licensed banks in the country.
