The Kenya Post Office Savings Bank, popularly known as Postbank, has served the Kenyan population for over a century, having been established in 1910. A key player in the country’s banking sector, Postbank is fully owned by the Kenyan government and operates under the Ministry of Finance. Unlike most other financial institutions, Postbank operates under its own legislation, the Kenya Post Office Savings Bank Act, which offers a significant advantage to its depositors: interest income earned on savings is tax-free.
The bank offers a variety of financial services through its network of 87 branches spread across the country. It is particularly known for its focus on promoting a savings culture among Kenyans. The head office is located at Postbank House along Banda Street in Nairobi.
