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.
