NCBA Group has announced a Sh6.18 billion interim dividend payout even as South Africa's Nedbank Group awaits regulatory clearance to complete its proposed majority takeover.
The tier-one lender declared an interim dividend of Sh3.75 per share on Wednesday, up from Sh2.50 in the prior year, after reporting a 12.2 per cent jump in half-year profit after tax to Sh12.4 billion.
The dividend will be payable to shareholders on the register as at August 28, 2026, with payment on or immediately after September 8.
"The first half of 2026 was marked by a dynamic operating environment with pressure on inflation and a cautious policy approach by the regional Central Banks," NCBA Group Managing Director John Gachora said.
