NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 10 – I&M Bank will open nine new branches across Kenya in 2026 under its “Mahali Uko, Tuko” campaign, targeting high-growth regions in agribusiness, real estate and MSME markets.
The new outlets will be located in Ngong Town, Kitengela, Nyahururu, Kitui, Homa Bay, Migori, Wote, Our Mall–Magadi Road and Utawala, areas identified for dynamic economic activity and expanding populations.
The lender said the move is aimed at deepening financial inclusion and bringing services closer to underserved communities.
Regional CEO Kihara Maina said the branches will serve as community hubs offering business banking, agricultural financing, digital banking support and financial literacy programmes, while blending physical presence with digital solutions.
The expansion follows the opening of 11 branches in 2025, raising the bank’s network to 65 outlets across 27 counties.
With the additional nine branches, I&M is moving closer to its target of 80 branches by the end of 2026 and eventual presence across all 47 counties.
