Diamond Trust Bank Kenya reported a 17.4% rise in pre-tax profits for the nine months period ending September 30. The bank recorded Ksh.1.34 billion up from Ksh.1.14 billion in the corresponding period in 2008. This was mainly attributed to the expansion and the resilience of SMEs performance — which account for 70% of DTK business.
During the period under review net interest income rose 47% to Ksh.2.46 billion in the first nine months of 2009 from Ksh.1.67 billion last year. Total operating income stood at Ksh.3.61 billion, up from Ksh.2.52 billion. The bank’s operating expenses rose 34% to Ksh.1.14 billion from Ksh.850 million. Earnings per share rose to Ksh.4.96 from Ksh.4.45.
Total customer deposits rose from Ksh.38.2 billion to Ksh.47.9 billion, representing a 25.3% growth. Total assets increased by 32% from Ksh.46.8 billion to Ksh.61.9 billion. DTB is ranked Kenya’s seventh biggest bank by asset base. Net loans and advances increased by 24% from Ksh.48.7 billion to Ksh.60.5 billion. The bank’s loan book grew 33% from Ksh.28.9 billion to Ksh.38.6 billion at a time when the industry’s grew by an average of 17%.
The results for Diamond Trust Bank Uganda Ltd were included after it became a subsidiary from October 6, 2008, when the DTK bank increased its shareholding to 51% from 26.7%. IFC holds minority shares in the bank and last year provided a $25 million (Ksh.1.8 billion) loan — which has helped it grow its foothold in the SME market.
During the year the bank opened six branches in Kenya pushing its local network to 23. It has operations in Uganda and Tanzania and opened a subsidiary in Burundi in July. It plans to open 25 more branches in the region by the end of the year.

Dear Sir,

Reg : Application for the post of Branch Manager in DTK bank.
I have come to know that you are opening 25 branches in Kenya and I submit my resume for the above post.

I posses sound experience in Banking operation, credit, foreign exchange, fund management, cash management, internal financial audits, statutory audits, quality audits, training, HR and Disciplinary Action in the Bank.

During the course of Enquiry, I have the experience of various types of Fraud detection and revenue leakage cases. I possess complete knowledge of MS Office comprising MS word, Excel and Power point.
I have worked in Mumbai (which is the financial capital of India) for over 12 years. Based on my above experience of around six years and being a Lead Quality Auditor, I have the ability to detect revenue leakage and fraud at an early stage.
I have worked as Branch managers in different branches and have been appreciated by the authorities for best customer service. Since I have worked in Planning and Development, I have the idea to achieve budgets of the branch well within the stipulated period. My style of customer relationship is extra ordinary.
I am yet to complete MBA (Finance) but my experience is beyond its syllabus. I am confident to discharge effectively Branch Manager job as per the guidelines of the Industry. Before seeking VRS from the Banking service last year, I was in the Middle Management Grade and working as Senior Manager in Mumbai, India. I am holding a valid Passport.
