Gilgil serves as a significant commercial hub in Nakuru County, known for its diatomite mining, agricultural production, and tourist attractions like the Kariandusi Prehistoric site.

“We are committed to empowering unbanked and underserved communities through innovative branch services, agency banking, and digital platforms, while ensuring seamless experience anytime, anywhere,” added Mr. Muthui.
As part of its ongoing network expansion strategy, Absa Bank Kenya opened branches in Kamakis and Rupa’s Mall in Eldoret last year, in addition to relocating the Migori and Imaara Mall branches to enhance service delivery.
Additionally, in line with its commitment to supporting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the region, the Bank hosted several entrepreneurs during the Wezesha Biashara Caravan last year, aimed at empowering them to scale and grow their businesses.
“By moving closer to our customers, we aim to provide unmatched financial solutions that meet their evolving needs. With this move, we also commit to empowering the community socially, economically and environmentally through our recently launched Absa Kenya Foundation,” Mr. Muthui said further.
Through the Absa Kenya Foundation’s entrepreneurship pillar, the Bank will continue to support entrepreneurs in the region and beyond by doubling their efforts in supporting enterprise development and turning informal businesses into formal bankable businesses with long-term commercial viability.
