Equity Bank Tells Kenyan SMEs to Stop Playing Small and Start Owning the World

Equity Bank Kenya Managing Director Moses Nyabanda addresses High Networth Individuals and SMEs during the customer engagement breakfast.

In a high-energy event that brought together Nairobi’s top entrepreneurs and elite investors, Equity Bank delivered a powerful message — if you’re building something great, you don’t have to do it alone. The bank is opening doors, unlocking funding, and paving the way for Kenyan businesses to expand beyond borders.

No fluff. No red tape. Just bold partnerships, tailored support, and a promise to fuel real growth.

Equity Bank Kenya Managing Director Moses Nyabanda set the tone with a powerful reminder — SMEs are the heartbeat of the economy. The dreamers, builders, and risk-takers who create jobs and shake industries. And now, it’s time for them to take things global.

We’re not just your bank, Nyabanda said. We’re your growth partner, your strategy ally, your behind-the-scenes powerhouse.

From affordable credit and digital banking tools to trade finance and international market access, Equity is handing entrepreneurs the tools to play in the big leagues. And they’re not stopping there.

Nyabanda urged business owners to ditch basic loan requests and bring bold ideas to the table. Big visions. Big energy. Big moves. The kind of ambition that transforms communities and redefines industries.

And for High Networth Individuals, the bank rolled out the red carpet. Equity’s Head of HNIs, Kevin Bwaley, showcased the premium services on offer — from personal relationship managers and bespoke investment options to wealth management and legacy planning.

This wasn’t just a breakfast meeting. It was a boardroom battle cry. A call to action for every SME and every investor ready to break boundaries and rewrite what’s possible.
