The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) revealed that 35 out of 38 commercial banks in the country violated banking rules in 2025, a significant increase from 2024 when 11 banks were cited. The breaches were mainly linked to the implementation of the Risk-Based Credit Pricing Model (RBCPM) and violations of the single obligor limit and the minimum capital requirement of Ksh3 billion. As a result, 33 banks faced financial penalties.
