Barclays Bank has announced that it is set to close seven of its branches across the country.
According to the facility, the move is aimed at cutting costs.
In an email to staff on Monday, Managing Director Jeremy Awori noted employees will not be affected with the closure.
“This is a consolidation move aimed at aligning our business to the current environment. No staff will be sacked,” he said.
The branches that have been closed are five in Nairobi, one in Meru and another in Wundayi.
The Haile Selassie branch will be consolidated with the one on Harambee Avenue, Moi Avenue with Queensway House, Waiyaki Way with Westands, Kawangware with Lavington and Rahimtullah with Bunyala.
The branch at Nakumatt Meru will move to another branch in the town and the one in Wundayi to Voi.
Awori said workers will be redeployed based on available opportunities and skills.
"We have briefed impacted colleagues. HR will help them make a smooth transition as the changes take effect," he said.
