The Co-operative Bank is Kenya’s third largest bank by profitability and the number of branches after KCB and Equity.

The Bank was initially registered under the Co-operative Societies Act at the point of its founding in 1966. It was incorporated as a limited company in 2008 paving the way for its listing in the stock market in the same year.

Co-operative societies and unions own 64.5 per cent of the bank through Coop Holdings Co-operative Society Limited. It is best known as the bank where Co-operative societies, saccos and chamas feel at home in terms of value proposition.
