Family Bank will become the twelfth lender on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) once its planned listing is completed in 2026, joining peers including Equity Group, KCB, and Co-operative Bank, according to Daba Finance.

The listing will be conducted through an introduction, meaning existing shares will become tradable without issuing new stock. Shareholders will be able to buy and sell freely, improving liquidity and transparency while creating long-term value.

Analysts say the move reflects growing engagement by mid-sized banks in Kenya’s capital markets. Although the introduction will not immediately raise new capital, it provides access to a broader investor base and flexibility to issue additional shares in the future.

Shareholders have approved the listing, marking a key milestone in Family Bank’s growth strategy and positioning it closer to Kenya’s top-tier lenders.

The bank will now seek regulatory clearance from the Central Bank of Kenya and the Capital Markets Authority to complete the process before the end of the year.
