Equity Bank
Equity Bank is a leading financial institution with a deep-rooted commitment to transforming lives and fostering prosperity across Africa. Established in 1984 as Equity Building Society, the institution initially focused on providing financial access to the underserved. Over the years, it has grown to become one of the most respected and impactful banks in the region.
On 31st December 2014, Equity Building Society transitioned into Equity Group Holdings Limited, a non-operating holding company, through a strategic restructuring. This move allowed the organization to better align with its long-term vision and expand its footprint across diverse markets and sectors.
From humble beginnings, Equity has recorded remarkable milestones, becoming synonymous with financial inclusion, innovation, and empowerment. Today, it stands as a model for how banking can be a force for good — reaching millions with inclusive financial services and catalyzing socio-economic growth across communities.
