Co-op Bank of Kenya has been named Kenya’s Best Private Bank for Growth Strategy at the Global Private Banking Awards 2026 held in London on November 5.
The awards, organised by Professional Wealth Management (PWM) and The Banker, both publications of the Financial Times Group, recognise performance in private banking and wealth management.
The recognition follows the bank’s expansion of its Executive Banking business, which targets affluent and high-net-worth customers through dedicated banking facilities, advisory services and financial products.
Co-op Bank said it had revamped 43 Executive Banking centres and opened five premium Executive Plus lounges in Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret and Kisumu.
Its Executive Banking service has two tiers: Executive Banking for mass affluent customers and Executive Plus Banking for high-net-worth individuals.
