## Overview

CIB Kenya is a retail banking institution, serving small to medium enterprises, large corporate clients and individuals. The bank was started in 2017, as a greenfield investment, by 31 Kenyan investors.[5] As of December 2019, the bank's total assets were valued at KSh8.65 billion (US$82 million), with shareholders' equity of KSh1.040 billion (US$10 million).[1]

## History

[edit]

CIB Kenya was granted a banking licence by the CBK on 20 June 2017[6] and began its operations on 1 August 2017.[7][8]

In December 2019, Commercial International Bank, based in Egypt began the process of seeking regulatory approval in Egypt and Kenya, to acquire a controlling interest in Mayfair Bank.[9]

### Acquisition

[edit]

On 3 December 2019, it was announced that one of Egypt's top banks, Commercial International Bank (CIB) wanted to acquire Mayfair Bank.[10] In April 2020, after receiving regulatory and shareholder approval from Nairobi and Cairo, CIB paid US$35 million in exchange for 51 percent shareholding in Mayfair Bank. In January 2023, CIB Egypt fully acquired the bank by buying the remaining 49% shares. The bank has since rebranded from Mayfair CIB Bank Kenya Limited to CIB Kenya.[11]
