The bank has maintained a strong dividend track record on the back of a sound sustained profitability growth over the years. Coop bank has grown over the years to now the third largest bank in the region with an asset base of over Sh425 billion.
The Chairman of Co-op Holdings Co-operative Society applauded the uniqueness of the Cooperative financial system that touches over 22,000 saccos following the remarkable performance of the Co-operative Bank that reported a pretax profit of Sh18.2 billion in 2018.
