NCBA Group has announced a substantial Sh6.18 billion interim dividend payout, reflecting a 12.2% increase in half-year profit after tax to Sh12.4 billion, even as South Africa's Nedbank Group awaits regulatory approval for its proposed majority takeover.

• An interim dividend of Sh3.75 per share will be paid to shareholders on the register as of August 28, 2026.
• The dividend benefits current shareholders, including the Philip Ndegwa family and the Kenyatta family, with the Nedbank transaction expected to close later in the year.
• NCBA Group's profit growth was driven by a 15.1% increase in operating income and a 26.9% surge in digital loans disbursed.
