Nairobi: October 16, 2018:ย National Bank has launched a campaign for mobilization savings from the public and other institutions which will see the bank pay interest rates above the minimum for all savings by customers in a bid to boost its customers deposit base.
ย
Unveiling the campaign, National Bank Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Wilfred Musau said: โIn the Finance Act 2018, the Banking act was amended by repealing the requirement for a minimum interest on Deposits. However as a bank, we have chosen to provide full benefits to our existing and new Savings Account customers by giving them up to 7% in interest on all Savings as we celebrate our 50thย birthday,โ said Mr. Musau.
ย
โAmid the high tax regime, we believe that this is a significant positive step towards providing enhanced returns to our customers.โโ
ย
He said Nationalย Bank appreciates the importance of promoting domestic savings to sustain the fast economic growth that the country continues to experience.
ย
The tiered rate will see savers earn 1% for deposits between Ksh 5, 001 and Ksh 50,000, 5% for savings between Ksh 50, 001 and Ksh 2, 000, 000, and 7% Ksh 2, 000, 001 and above.
ย
National Bank boasts of 76 branch outlets across the country, 132 ATMs, over 1500 agent banking outlets, and electronic channels of mobile and internet banking.
ย
The bank offersย diverse affordable products that includeย National Ahadi Savings account, which allows customers to save Kenya Shillings, US dollars, GBP and Euros.

โOur Nationalย Vision Account is also a great first step for teaching children to be responsible with money.ย The account can be used to save childrenโs immediate and future school fees needs,โ Mr. Musau said.
