Barclays Bank has announced to fully their names to Absa Group Limited by end of 2019.

We are gradually presenting our Absa image. We have a procedure that will come full in 2020,


Barclays Bank of Kenya CEO Jeremy Awori said at a financial meeting.

“We are peering toward a total rebranding by end of this current year,” Mr Awori included, expressing that the parent aggregate Absa would infuse extra undisclosed funding to the Kenyan unit to provide food for the progress costs.

This name change comes three years after UK-based Barclays Plc declared that it would sell the greater part of its 62 percent stake in the Johannesburg-based Barclays Africa Group more than a few years.

Barclays turns into the third bank after KCB Group and Stanbic Holdings to declare a development in entire year results.

KCB, Kenya’s greatest bank by resources, on March 6 posted a 21.8 percent hop in net benefit to Sh24 billion for the year finished December 2018, helped by lower working expenses and a drop in credit deficit arrangements.
