Best Paying Banks in Kenya – Salaries For Bank Worker
Working in a bank is a dream come true for most Kenyan graduates. This is due to the high pay associated with some of the banks. However, not all banks in Kenya offers a good starting salary to graduates. You will be surprised to find out that some banks with big brand names and large membership actually pay peanuts to their workers. Some job opportunities in the banking sector include tellers, accountants, Bank manager, Credit manager, Finance officer among others.
Banks also employ support staff and posts for customer care desk, messengers and customer attendants are crucial in any bank.
If you are a graduate and you are looking for the best bank to work with, it is worth noting the starting salary offer before you can put pen to paper and sign that contract. Some graduates sacrifice their sleep to send many job applications only to be disappointed when the applicants realize that they’ve been given a raw deal after signing a contract. For instance, Equity Bank has a big name but approximate starting salary for a graduate is between Sh 30,000 to Sh 45, 000, which may not enough to sustain a graduate especially living in towns with high living standards.
Barclays is another big brand with a global name in the banking sector but when it comes to remuneration for fresh graduates one should expect to earn an approximate salary of between Sh.30,000 to Sh 60,000. Although not bad, the salary may not be sustainable to individuals in towns with high cost of living.
