Standard Chartered Kenya posted a 38 percent decline to Sh12.4 billion in profit after tax for the full year ending December 31, 2025, weighed down by declining net interest and non-interest incomes.
During a similar period last year, the lender announced a Sh20.1 billion.
While net interest income fell 13 percent to Sh28.9 billion, non funded income decreased by 23 percent to Sh13.4 billion.
Similarly, customer deposits reduced by 4 percent to close at Sh283 billion largely local currency deposits.
However, net loans and advances to customers increased 2 percent to close at Sh154.3 billion, buoyed mainly in Corporate Finance and Wealth Solutions, negated by decline in
Transaction Services, Personal Loans and Mortgages.
“We have delivered a resilient performance in 2025 with profit before tax of KShs 16.8 billion translating to a profit after tax of KShs 12.4 billion. The Board will be recommending to the
shareholders the payment of a final dividend of KShs 23.00 for every ordinary share of KShs5.00 at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting,” Kariuki Ngari, Managing Director
