Diamond Trust Bank net profit rises 21pc to Sh10.7bn

The lender recorded a 14 percent growth in total revenue, while operating expenses declined by seven percent during the period.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 23 – Diamond Trust Bank (DTB) posted a 21 percent increase in net profit to Sh10.7 billion for the full year ending December 31, 2025, supported by cost discipline and improved performance across its businesses.

The lender recorded a 14 percent growth in total revenue, while operating expenses declined by seven percent during the period.

Customer deposits rose 14 percent to Sh509 billion, with net loans also increasing by a similar margin to Sh324 billion, driven by expansion across SME, retail and mid-market segments.

The bank said its customer base grew to 4.5 million from 3.1 million a year earlier, supported by a wider branch network and digital banking platforms.

DTB’s asset quality also improved, with the non-performing loan ratio easing to 10.8 percent from 12.3 percent in the previous year.

“These results reflect the strength of our strategy and the resilience of our business model. We have delivered quality growth while maintaining strong discipline and enhancing operational efficiency,” said Group CEO Nasim Devji.

She added that continued investment in digital capabilities is helping expand access to financial services while positioning the bank for long-term growth.
