NCBA, Zetu Innovations Partner in Nyumba Zetu Distribution Deal to Support Property Managers and Landlords

NCBA has today announced a new distributor partnership with Zetu Innovations, the creators of Nyumba Zetu platform.

The deal will see the NCBA real estate customers utilize the next generation property management platform designed to simplify the complexities of managing residential, commercial and mixed use and affordable housing properties.

The platform offers modern tools for today’s dynamic real estate landscape, making property
management more accessible, efficient, and scalable for all developers, landlords, property
managers and homeowners’ associations in Kenya and beyond.

This partnership is part of NCBA’s broader strategy to offer retail and SME customers innovative
solutions that simplify financial management across different sectors, including real estate.

This milestone comes as Kenya’s residential property sector continues to withstand
macroeconomic pressures. As highlighted by the 2025 Economic Survey report from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), the development in the real estate sector increased by
4.6% to KES 283.1 billion in Q4 2024, representing a significant share of the country’s GDP.

“This partnership reaffirms our commitment in offering simple, secure, smart and scalable digital
solutions for everyday operations. We are delighted to offer a platform that not only addresses
long-standing property management challenges but also meets the evolving needs of Kenya’s
fast-growing real estate market,” said Tirus Mwithiga, NCBA Group Director, Corporate Banking
and Business Advisory, speaking on the partnership. “This partnership further strengthens our
position in the construction and real estate space as it complements our existing property
solutions such as mortgages, construction loans, solar leasing, and WASH (Water, Sanitation
and Hygiene) financing — enabling our customers to not only access capital for development
but also manage their properties efficiently and sustainably.”

Speaking at the partnership launch, Nicholas Ogaye, CEO and Founder of Zetu Innovations Ltd,
said, “Nyumba Zetu was built to reimagine property management for a digital future—removing
complexity and giving organizations real control over their portfolios. Our partnership with
NCBA, a leader in financial innovation and customer-centric solutions, accelerates this mission,
allowing us to deliver smart, data-driven tools to property professionals and communities across
Kenya and the diaspora. We are excited to empower a new generation with intuitive, automated
solutions that keep them ahead in a rapidly evolving market.”

Nyumba Zetu is available to the public, with onboarding support provided through relationship
managers across NCBA branches. Customers are encouraged to sign up via the Nyumba Zetu
website, consult their Relationship Manager or visit the nearest NCBA branch to learn more.
