Transnational Bank (TNB), whose complete name is Transnational Bank Kenya Limited, is a commercial bank in Kenya. It is one of the forty-four licensed commercial banks in the country.[1]

History

TNB was established as a non-bank financial institution (NBFI) in 1984, under the name Transnational Finance Company (TNFC). TNFC provided loans, including lease-purchase arrangements to depositors and non-depositors. In 1985, following the issuance of a commercial banking license by the Central Bank of Kenya, the national banking regulator, the company began banking operations under its current name in Nairobi and Mombasa. At first other locations in the country continued to operate as TNFC offices. Between 1985 and 1996, all TNFC activities were merged with TNB and the TNFC brand was closed. The bank has one subsidiary; TNB Forex Bureau, located at Moi International Airport in Mombasa. The bank is also affiliated with Western Union, the American International money-transfer service.[2] In 2009, TNB introduced Internet banking and mobile banking through mobile telephones.[3]
