National Bank of Kenya (NBK) net profit for the three months to March grew nearly quadrupled to Sh1 billion riding on cheaper cost of funds and lower provisioning for defaults.

The bank, which was acquired from KCB Group by Nigerian lender Access Bank last year, had reported a net profit of Sh275.6 million in a similar period last year.
