Use this directory when you know your area or district and need to find a nearby bank branch. Choose the place where you are, then open the local listing. It helps you check which institutions have branches in that area. You can use the branch details to find an address or phone number before you travel. This is useful if you are new to an area, away from home, or looking for a branch close to where you live or work. Nairobi, the largest city in Kenya, may have more area listings to help you narrow your search.
The directory also helps you check whether an institution is licensed. It checks institutions against the register published by the Central Bank of Kenya, the country’s regulator. The register currently lists 47 licensed institutions of all kinds in Kenya. It does not state how many of these institutions are banks, so the directory does not use that figure as a bank count. Area pages are mainly for finding branches by location. If you already know where you are, start with your area or district and review the available contact and branch information.
