Ecobank Kenya, a subsidiary of the leading pan-African financial institution, Ecobank Group, has launched Premier Banking — a bespoke offering crafted for Kenya’s affluent and high-net-worth individuals.
Ecobank management says premier banking is designed to meet the evolving needs of clients seeking sophisticated, personalised solutions that go beyond traditional banking. The proposition brings together private banking, insurance, diaspora and expatriate banking solutions, mortgage offerings, and a suite of exclusive privileges and lifestyle benefits.
The launch comes against the backdrop of a rising demand for personalised banking experiences in Kenya, spurred by a growing upper-middle class, deeper regional integration, and an expanding base of expatriates, diaspora, and globally minded professionals.
“Kenya is a strategic market for Ecobank,” said Ms Josephine Anan-Ankomah, Managing Director of Ecobank Kenya and Regional Executive for Central, Eastern and Southern Africa (CESA). “We see a rising generation of clients who think globally and act strategically — leaders who are looking for financial solutions that are as ambitious and borderless as they are. Premier Banking is our bold response to this need.
She added that this offering is built for high-achieving individuals — trailblazers, entrepreneurs, and visionaries — who deserve more than convenience: recognition, tailored advice, and access to financial tools that help them scale, thrive, and grow.
