Co-operative Bank of Kenya has been ranked as the third most attractive bank out of 38 commercial banks operating in the country.

Cytonn 2019 Banking Sector Report showed the bank’s asset quality improved, with the NPL ratio reducing marginally to 11.2% in FY’2019, from 11.3% in FY’2018 owing to faster growth in gross loans by 9.1% outpacing the 7.5% growth in gross non-performing loans.

“This is attributed to the implementation of credit management strategies implemented since the beginning of the year,” the report, themed “Increased Consolidation in the Banking Sector” said.
