DIB Bank Kenya has officially commenced operations with services at three new branches – two in Nairobi (Westlands, Upper Hill) and one in Mombasa (Kilindini). It is a subsidiary of Dubai Islamic Bank, the largest Islamic bank in the UAE with $50 billion in assets

Kenya has two other fully Shariah banks – Gulf African and First Community who have been operating for just over a decade now. Other large banks also offer Shariah/ Islamic banking products and services including  Barclays, KCB, and also at Chase Bank.

There are also insurance companies, and recently financial products like ETF’s and bonds that are Shariah compliant.

DIB has no relationship or association with Dubai Bank Kenya that was placed into liquidation by the Central Bank of Kenya in 2015.
