KITUI, Kenya, Nov 16 — Diamond Trust Bank (DTB) has opened a new branch in Kitui County, marking its 92nd outlet in Kenya and the 161st across East Africa.
The launch of the Kitui branch aligns with DTB’s ongoing expansion strategy aimed at bringing financial services closer to customers while enhancing access to its diverse product portfolio. The bank says the move underscores its commitment to empowering communities through convenient, reliable, and customer-focused banking.
Located at the Chief Kitonga Building in Kitui Town, the new branch will serve a broad customer base — including local businesses, SMEs, traders, farmers, and individual clients — reflecting the region’s growing economic activity and entrepreneurial potential.
Speaking during the opening on Friday, George Otiende, DTB’s Director of Retail Banking, said the expansion reinforces the bank’s support for county-level economic growth.
“The opening of the Kitui branch reaffirms DTB’s commitment to supporting economic growth across Kenya’s counties. Kitui is a key commercial hub with a vibrant SME and trade ecosystem. By expanding our presence here, we are ensuring that individuals, farmers, and businesses have access to tailored financial solutions that enable growth and long-term sustainability,” he said.
“We are committed to walking alongside our customers and providing services that meet their needs in a convenient and personalized manner.”
The branch will offer a full suite of personal and business banking services, including accounts, loans, supply chain financing, mortgages, cards, and investment products. Customers will also access DTB’s digital banking platforms for secure, seamless transactions, complemented by dedicated in-branch support.
The opening comes as part of DTB’s wider branch rollout this year, which has already seen the launch of the Mwea and Kilimani branches and the commencement of operations at the Garissa branch. DTB says it remains committed to further expanding its footprint across the region.
