HF Group PLC has announced a change of its name to HFCB Group PLC, marking another step in the Group’s transformation journey as it continues strengthening its position in Kenya’s financial services sector.
The move follows approval by the company’s shareholders on September 4, 2024, and the issuance of a Certificate of Change of Name by the Registrar of Companies.
HFCB Group has had a transformational journey. The Group began operations in November 1965 as the Housing Finance Company of Kenya, and has since evolved from being a mortgage financier to a provider of integrated financial solutions with interests in banking, property, and insurance.
In 2015, the company restructured into HF Group Plc, a non-operating holding company with four subsidiaries. Following the rebranding, the subsidiaries are HFCB Limited, HFCB Properties Limited, HFCB Bancassurance Intermediary, and HFCB Foundation.
HFCB Group noted that the change of name neither affects the company’s legal status nor alters any existing rights, obligations, or operations.

The Group was listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) in 1992, allowing public trading of its shares.

As of May 22, 2026, the company’s shares traded at KES 9.40, up 56.1% year-on-year, but down 5.2% on a year-to-date basis.
