Overview
CMBKL is a private financial services provider in Kenya. It was awarded a microfinance banking license by the Central Bank of Kenya, on 13 May 2015.[1][4] The institution was licensed as a community-microfinance bank, authorized to provide services in Kajiado North Constituency in Kajiado County. As of June 2017[update], the institution was in the process of raising fresh capital, in order to qualify for a national licence that authorizes the company to conduct business in all the counties of the country.[5] A regional microfinance company requires KSh20 million (US$200,000) in capital to obtain a licence, while a national microfinance bank requires a minimum capital investment of KSh60 million (US$600,000).[6] In May 2017, the institution announced its intention to introduce internet banking and mobile banking services.[7]
