Bank of Baroda (Kenya) Limited said on Friday, September 18, that social media claims of its exit from Kenya are false and misleading.

The bank urged customers, employees, business partners and the public not to rely on unverified information and reiterated that it continues to operate normally across the country.

Established in Kenya in 1953, Bank of Baroda highlighted its more than 70‑year presence and recent regulatory disclosures showing a strong capital base, loan‑book growth and a stable balance sheet.

The statement also stressed the bank’s focus on prudent risk management, regulatory compliance and sustainable growth while supporting households and businesses.

Legal backdrop to the rumours

The denial follows a High Court warrant issued to recover nearly Ksh 2.9 billion owed by the bank to Infinity Industrial Park Limited, directing auctioneers to attach movable property unless payment is made.

The court ordered the auctioneers to report by 15 October 2026 on the execution of the warrant, adding a procedural deadline to the ongoing dispute.

Guidance for customers and partners

Bank of Baroda advised customers and stakeholders to rely only on official communications from the bank and relevant regulators for accurate information about its services.
