KCB Group shareholders are set for a record Sh13 billion dividend payout following an 8 percent surge in net profit to Sh32.3 billion for the first half of 2025. This unprecedented payout includes a special dividend from the sale of National Bank of Kenya (NBK).

• The board recommended an interim dividend of Sh2.00 per share and a special dividend of Sh2.00 per share, totaling Sh4.00 per share.
• The Kenyan government, through the National Treasury and National Social Security Fund (NSSF), is the biggest beneficiary.
• KCB Group CEO Paul Russo attributed the results to customer-focused initiatives and resilience across its seven East African markets, with subsidiaries outside Kenya contributing 33.4 percent of the Group's pre-tax profit.
