In a statement from the Central Bank of Kenya on Wednesday afternoon, the bank of last resort said KDIC commenced a third disbursement of funds to Imperial Bank depositors.

Under the plan, verified depositors will be able to access additional funds of up to 10 per cent of their remaining deposits subject to a minimum of Sh200,000 or the actual deposit amount for balances for below Sh200,000.

“Verified depositors will be able to access these funds through NIC Bank as was the case for the second disbursement in July 2016. Any new claims should be lodged and processed through NIC Bank,” it observed.

CBK said the recovery of Imperial Bank loans will continue, which will allow access to additional resources by depositors and other stakeholders. 

“All IBL borrowers should continue making payments on their loans as is currently required,” said CBK.
