This commitment was showcased during a high-profile customer engagement dinner held in Nakuru, which brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and key stakeholders from the region.
At the event, Sidian Bank CEO, Chege Thumbi, outlined the bank’s mission to provide innovative, customer-centric banking solutions that cater to the ever-evolving needs of Kenyan entrepreneurs. “Our mission as a bank is simple yet ambitious: to create a financial institution that reaches the heart of businesses, offering tangible solutions, scaling business opportunities, and ensuring long-term financial empowerment. We believe in the power of Kenya’s entrepreneurs and their potential to deliver extraordinary results when given the right support,” said Thumbi.
Sidian Bank has positioned itself as the “Home of Biashara,” offering a comprehensive range of business banking solutions that include working capital loans, trade finance, asset financing, bancassurance, and innovative digital banking services. These solutions are designed to support SMEs in growing and sustaining their operations, while also responding to the unique challenges faced by entrepreneurs in today’s dynamic market environment.
The event also provided an opportunity to celebrate the longstanding relationships Sidian Bank has cultivated with its Nakuru-based clients, many of whom have been with the bank for over two decades. Thumbi emphasized the importance of listening to customers, stating, “We are not just offering financial services; we are deeply engaged with our customers, understanding their challenges, and shaping our strategy to meet their ambitions.”
