KCB Agents Expand Financial Access With Airtel Money Partnership

KCB Bank Kenya agents will now offer Airtel Money services, enabling customers to deposit and withdraw cash across more than 22,000 locations nationwide. This expansion of financial services follows a trend where farmers in Kenya are increasingly turning to buyers of their produce for credit, a practice that gained significant traction during the May 2026 long rains season according to a Central Bank of Kenya survey. Stanbic Holdings separately reported disbursing Sh1.8 billion towards affordable housing projects in 2025, significantly contributing to Kenya's housing development initiatives. Meanwhile, 7 in 10 Kenyan small and medium-sized enterprises are optimistic about their financial future, anticipating revenue growth in the coming year according to the Mastercard SME Confidence Index 2026.
