The Co-operative Bank of Kenya has recorded a growth in its profit after tax to Sh6.1 billion in the three months to March 2023 on account of rising interest and non-interest incomes.

The lender’s profit increased by 5.2 percent for Sh5.8 billion, which was recorded in a similar period last year.

Increased income was attributed to high interest and non-interest income, which includes commissions and fees.
