Standard Chartered Bank Kenya reported a significant decline in its third-quarter 2025 profit before tax, reaching KShs 13.2 billion. This represents a 41% decrease compared to the previous year, primarily due to lower revenues and a substantial one-off employee past service cost.

• Profit before tax was KShs 13.2 billion, a 41% decline from the same period last year.
• The decline was largely attributed to a KShs 2.7 billion one-off employee past service cost following a Supreme Court ruling and Retirement Benefits Appeal Tribunal (RBAT) Orders.
• The bank's operating income fell by 17%, with net interest income down 10% and non-interest income decreasing by 29%.
• Standard Chartered Bank Kenya has substantially complied with the RBAT Orders, including a payment of KShs 2.5 billion to appellants, with KShs 1.9 billion already disbursed.
