Mary Kanuku, head of treasury at DIB Bank Kenya representing notes that the upcoming digital revolution has the potential to bolster the uptake of Shariah banking services in Kenya.

“Our investment in enhancing the digital infrastructure underscores our commitment to providing innovative banking solutions that drive growth for the Bank. By embracing the digital revolution, we aim to set new standards in the Digital Banking space while contributing to the broader economic development of Kenya,” said Kanuku.
