Medium-term notes are debt securities issued by an organisation over a period of time continuously with maturities usually ranging from 5 to 10 years.

“We wish to thank the investors who participated in the medium-term note. The MTN which was issued back in 2016 and listed in the Nairobi Securities Exchange supported the Bank in its expansion plans and served to strengthen the capital base to be able to increase lending to Medium and Small Sized Enterprises,” said Family Bank Chief Executive Officer Rebecca Mbithi.

She said the bank remains focused on the growth in order to meet the needs of its customers.
