This dedication was highlighted during a high-level customer engagement dinner held in Nakuru, bringing together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and key stakeholders from the region.
Speaking at the event, Sidian Bank CEO, Chege Thumbi, emphasized the bank’s mission to create innovative customer-focused and accessible banking solutions that respond to the evolving needs of Kenyan entrepreneurs.
“Our mission as a bank is simple yet ambitious: to create a financial institution that reaches the heart of businesses, offering them tangible solutions, scaling their business opportunities, and long-term financial empowerment. We believe in the power of Kenya’s entrepreneurs and their potential to deliver extraordinary results when given the right support,” said Mr. Thumbi.
Sidian Bank has steadily grown into a key enabler of business success, focusing on innovative products and services that reflect the evolving needs of entrepreneurs in the country.
In line with the brand proposition “Home of Biashara”, the bank offers a range of business banking solutions, including working capital loans, trade finance, asset financing, bancassurance, and innovative digital banking channels.
The client’s engagement dinner appreciated the longstanding relationships with Nakuru business clients, most of whom have banked with the bank for over 20 years.
“We would like our customers to know that we are not only offering financial services, but we are also listening to their needs and challenges. Their challenges inform our strategy and their ambitions direct our innovations and the future of our products,” reiterated Thumbi.
Over the years, Sidian Bank Limited has grown significantly, operating 47 branches across the country and supporting a growing customer base with an asset portfolio of KES 60.1 billion and deposits totaling KES 44 billion as of December 31, 2024, clear evidence of its strong financial footing and growing customer trust.
