L-R HFCB CEO Robert Kibaara and Board Chairperson Prof. Olive Mugenda lead the bank in celebrating the official rebranding to HFCB with the unveiling of the new logo that reflects the company’s evolution into an integrated financial service institution.
HF Group Plc today announced a significant milestone, with the launch of a new unified brand identity, HFCB, bringing together the Group and all its subsidiaries under one cohesive and forward-looking brand.
This rebrand follows the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and reflects the Group’s continued growth into a diversified, fully integrated financial services and property Group. The new brand name and identity, HFCB has been developed to strengthen the Group’s market positioning and better communicate its expanding capabilities to customers, partners, and the broader market.
“This rebrand marks an important milestone in our journey as a business. HFCB reflects who we are today—a strong, fully integrated financial services and property Group—and positions us firmly for the future,” said Robert Kibaara, Group Chief Executive Officer.
The Group has emphasized that the rebrand is purely a change of identity and does not impact its underlying business fundamentals: ownership; governance; leadership or core operations.
Speaking during the launch event to customers, the HFCB Group CEO said “Our Group has expanded across multiple business lines, but operating under different brand identities has limited our ability to fully articulate our integrated value proposition. The transition to HFCB is designed to: Enhance clarity and consistency across the Group; Strengthen brand equity and market perception; Improve engagement with customers and partners and accelerate growth across key segments.
The new HFCB identity signals a stronger, more unified future for the Group as it continues to scale its operations and deepen its role as a trusted financial partner in the region.
The rebrand comes on the back of a successful business transformation strategy that has seen the Group post incremental profitable financial results with the FY2025 results reflecting a 250% growth in profitability to Kes 1.6 Billion.
“The Board and Management remain fully committed to strengthening our competitive positioning and delivering sustainable value for all stakeholders as we embark on this next chapter,” added Mr. Kibaara.
