Diamond Trust Bank (DTB) has set its sights on growing its brick & mortar network to 81 branches by the end of the year.

On Tuesday, the lender opened three new branches located at Imara Daima, Kamakis and Kahawa Sukari.

The three new branches have pushed DTB’s physical branch network in the country to 64.

DTB says it will open 17 more branches before the end of 2022, signalling the sizable expansion of its branch network.

“As a tier-one bank, we are keen on increasing our market presence as this underpins our growth strategy. The investments we are making are not only a show of the bank’s financial strength but also a sign of commitment to creating more convenience for our customers,” stated DTB Chairman Linus Gitahi.

“As DTB, we remain optimistic about Kenya’s economic recovery. We are therefore making strides to be closer to our customers to support them and attain their personal and business goals,” added DTB CEO Nasim Devji.

Presently, most of DTB branches are concentrated within the Nairobi Metropolitan Area.

Nevertheless, the bank has branches in most parts of the country including Lamu, Malindi, Mombasa, Meru, Nyeri, Migori, Kisii and Bungoma.
