Octagon Africa Financial Services has opened a new office on the 9th Floor of Epic Business Centre in Mombasa as part of its expansion across Kenya.
The launch aims to improve access to financial solutions, deepen client relationships and support long-term financial security for individuals, families and businesses in the coastal region.
Octagon Africa Group Chief Executive Officer Fred Waswa said the Mombasa office is strategic because the city is fast-growing and the Coast presents significant opportunities across sectors such as trade, tourism, hospitality, logistics, manufacturing, oil, professional services and small and medium-sized enterprises, which generate diverse needs for retirement planning, employee benefits, insurance, investment and wealth preservation.
The expansion is timed as employers in the region increasingly focus on enhancing employee benefits while navigating decisions on retirement preparedness, wealth creation and business continuity.
Octagon Africa’s partnership with financial services provider Alexforbes underpins the launch, combining Octagon Africa’s local market presence with Alexforbes’ employee benefits and advisory capabilities to deliver an integrated proposition to employers and workers.
Alexforbes Chief Commercial Officer Craig Bentley noted that the new office demonstrates a commitment to embedding financial solutions in the coastal market and aligns with Alexforbes’ objective to grow across the African region while reinforcing its partnership with Octagon Africa.
