Access Bank Kenya has secured a fresh capital injection of $15 million from its parent company, Access Bank Plc, as part of a broader strategy to reinforce its financial position and fuel long-term growth across the region.
The capital raise follows a “No Objection” approval from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), granting Access Bank Plc the green light to invest in its Kenyan subsidiary.
The funds are expected to strengthen the bank’s capital base, improve liquidity, and enhance its ability to serve customers and support economic development in Kenya.
“This funding will strengthen our capital base, enhance our liquidity, and enable us to better support our customers and the broader Kenyan economy,” the bank said in a statement.

The bank also marked an achievement with the completed acquisition of National Bank of Kenya (NBK) by its parent company.
The acquisition opens new opportunities to integrate operations and harness the combined strengths of both institutions to build a more competitive and inclusive banking platform.
Despite temporary transitional factors reflected in its first-quarter 2025 results, Access Bank Kenya emphasized its unwavering focus on sustainable profitability and long-term value creation.
“With a clear roadmap and renewed capital strength, we are confident in our long-term outlook that will enhance our ability to provide relevant product offerings across all our customer segments,” the bank stated.
