The NCBA bank has opened a branch in Homa Bay town to take financial services closer to people, bringing the total number of outlets to 98 in the country.
According to NCBA Group Director for Retail Banking Tirus Mwithiga, customers from the county previously had to travel to Kisii or Kisumu town to access the bank’s services.
Speaking during the launch, Mwithiga noted that this caused the clients a great deal of inconvenience, necessitating the opening of the Homa Bay town branch.
“NCBA is dedicated to serving the economy and we will ensure we will deliver exceptional service.”
Further, he said the bank boasts of strategic partnerships within key economic sectors, including retail trade, transport, farming, education, and the blue economy.

Wanga said Homa Bay is open for investments and urged investors in all sectors to invest in the county.
She said through financial institutions they can promote financial literacy and enhance a culture of savings and investment that uplifts the living standards of the people.
