Stanbic Bank Kenya has had a good start to the year, posting a modest net profit increase of 2.7% to Sh3.9 billion for Q1 2024 compared to the same period last year. This was achieved despite a decline in operating income during the quarter. Stanbic’s net interest income also grew by a significant 18.5%, reaching Sh6.4 billion, driven by higher loan earnings.
