KCB Group PLC has reported a profit after tax of Ksh47.3 billion for the nine months ending September 2025, a 3.5% increase from Ksh45.7 billion in the same period last year.

The Group’s strong performance was driven by higher income across business lines and effective cost management, despite challenges in its markets.

KCB’s balance sheet grew by 2.6% to Ksh2.04 trillion, even after the sale of National Bank of Kenya (NBK) in May 2025.

Total revenue increased 4.5% to Ksh149.4 billion, with net interest income rising 12.4% to Ksh104.3 billion. Non-interest income stood at Ksh45.1 billion.

KCB’s gross loans and advances grew by 7% to Ksh1.24 trillion, with a focus on key sectors like agriculture, construction, and manufacturing.

The financial institution’s non-banking subsidiaries also showed solid growth, contributing 35% to the Group’s profit.
