Mombasa, Monday 12th<\/sup> October 2026<\/strong> – Octagon Africa Financial Services has expanded its presence in Kenya\u2019s coastal region with the opening of a new office in Mombasa. Located on the 9th<\/sup> Floor of Epic Business Centre, the move aims to \u00a0improve access to financial solutions, deepen customer relations and support the long-term financial security of individuals, families and businesses.<\/p>\n

The Coastal region\u2019s diverse economic base presents opportunities to engage employers across established industries as well as growing businesses, many of which must balance day-to-day operating costs with longer-term priorities such as staff welfare, retirement benefits and business continuity.<\/p>\n

\u201cMombasa is a fast-growing city in Kenya, and we would like to be part of this growth. The Coast region presents significant opportunities across different sectors, including trade, tourism, hospitality, logistics, manufacturing, oil, professional services and small and medium-sized enterprises, which present diverse needs spanning retirement planning, employee benefits, insurance, investment and wealth preservation,\u201d said Octagon Africa Group CEO Fred Waswa.<\/p>\n

The launch is a strategic step towards bringing Octagon Africa\u2019s diverse financial services closer to customers while leveraging its partnership with Alexforbes to strengthen its employee benefits and financial services proposition.<\/p>\n

The partnership with Alexforbes is a key pillar of Octagon Africa\u2019s growth ambitions. By combining Octagon Africa\u2019s local market presence and customer relationships with Alexforbes\u2019 extensive employee benefits and financial services capabilities, the two organisations aim to strengthen the value offered to employers and individuals.<\/p>\n

Alexforbes Chief Commercial Officer Craig Bentley noted that the opening of Octagon Africa\u2019s office in Mombasa demonstrates their commitment to embedding their financial solutions to clients withing the coastal region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis move aligns with Alexforbes\u2019 objective to offer opportunities and growth across the African region, and strategically into specific markets such as Kenya, while at the same time reinforcing key relationships with our key partners such as Octagon Africa,\u201d added Alexforbes Chief Commercial Officer Craig Bentley.<\/p>\n

This collaboration provides an opportunity to deepen engagement with businesses, explore new market opportunities and deliver more integrated solutions that address the changing needs of the Coastal region workforce and business community.<\/p>\n
