We have a network of 30 branches across Kenya. Corporate and institutional banking business is handled mainly out of the four major cities in Kenya: Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Eldoret. Standard Chartered Kenya has centralised the back office operations of all its branches in one central location with a real-time accounting system, which is a considerable competitive advantage. Benefits of centralisation include streamlined processes, improved service levels, increased efficiency and a standardised approach to our product offering.

Standard Chartered Kenya focuses its marketing efforts primarily on global and domestic corporates. Non-government organisations, from which Kenya receives aid, are also a significant business for us. Standard Chartered's network in East Africa, with a solid presence not only in Kenya, but also in Uganda and Tanzania, makes us an excellent choice for aid business. It is the strategy of our institutional banking business, especially development institutions, to attract the top tier of aid institutions to augment our global relationships, and become the major player in the provision of banking services to the aid sector in the region. We were awarded the "Best Foreign Bank in Kenya" for the year 1999 and 2000. The currency of Kenya is the Kenya Shilling (SWIFT Code KES).
