Wakenya mambo vipi? 

Is there a story unfolding in your community? Let Hivisasa know

Allow us to introduce ourselves. 

For years, Kenyans have trusted Barclays with your financial needs, giving us a history and heritage of being one of the most respected and trusted financial brands in the country and in Africa. 

You have banked with us for generations, from when your folks opened junior savings accounts for you when you were little, to date when you’re banking on your own; even using Timiza app to get a quick loan, hail a cab, load up airtime on your phone, and pay for stuff.

Nothing has changed. We’re still the same bank, trusted over generations by millions of customers in Kenya. However, we’re changing our name from the Barclays you’ve always known, to Absa Group. Why the shift, you ask?

So we figured we’d chart our own path as a truly African bank, by Africans for Africa, but with global recognition. All we’re doing is taking the proud heritage of being your trusted and respected brand, and building on it. 

We want to give you a new world of possibilities in which we determine our own strategy and deploy our resources with a unique Kenyan focus, leveraging local insights. 

In short, we’re doing things differently. You are bold, passionate, daring, and digital. So are we. Our new identity allows us to be bold, passionate, and ready to embrace a digital future filled with opportunities for growth - yours and ours.

And because you are digital, we’re creating a digital bank around mobile using machine learning, advanced analytics and other tools to deliver unique and exciting experience through relevant products and services just for you. 

Ebu come with us, and enter a world of endless possibilities with Absa Group.
