The bank is part of Barclays Africa, where majority owner Barclays Plc is reducing its stake.

It said the customers who hold accounts in the branches affected will be relocated to others nearby. At present, Barclays Kenya has 102 branches across the country.

Staff working in these branches will be redeployed based on available opportunities, it said in a statement.

In recent years, commercial banks in Kenya have increased their use of mobile and internet technologies as a way to increase efficiency and reduce the costs of running a branch network. (Reporting by George Obulutsa and Humphrey Malalo, editing by)
