1. Westlands Branch
The Westlands Branch is the primary, full-service Equity Bank branch serving the Westlands commercial district. It is situated along Ring Road, in the Westlands Square area, historically described as being on the ground floor next to the former Uchumi supermarket, with the branch’s current listed location placing it on Woodvale Grove.
As a full retail banking outlet, this branch handles a high volume of daily transactions from both individual customers and small business owners operating in the surrounding area. It offers the full suite of Equity Bank’s personal banking products, including savings accounts, current accounts, fixed deposit accounts, personal loans, mortgage financing, vehicle financing, and education loans.
The branch operates within standard Equity Bank banking hours (typically Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and Saturday mornings from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM), though customers are advised to confirm hours directly with the branch, as these can vary or be adjusted for holidays.

2. Westlands Corporate Branch
The Westlands Corporate Branch is listed separately on Equity Group Holdings’ official branch locator as a dedicated corporate banking facility within Westlands. Corporate branches within the Equity network are designed to serve larger business clients, multinational companies, NGOs, and institutional customers that require more specialized banking relationships than a standard retail branch typically provides.
Given Westlands’ concentration of corporate head offices, embassies, and multinational entities, a dedicated corporate branch in the area allows Equity Bank to offer:
- Trade finance services — letters of credit, guarantees, and import/export financing
- Cash management solutions — bulk payment processing, payroll services, and liquidity management for businesses
- Business loans and asset finance — tailored lending solutions for companies of varying sizes
- Relationship management — dedicated relationship managers who work directly with corporate clients to structure financial solutions that support business growth and expansion
- Foreign currency and diaspora banking support, relevant given the international business community based in Westlands
Because corporate branches generally serve clients by appointment or through assigned relationship managers rather than high-volume walk-in traffic, customers seeking services from this branch are typically advised to contact Equity Bank’s corporate banking division directly or visit in coordination with their relationship manager.

3. Sarit Centre ATM Point
While not a full-service branch, the Sarit Centre offsite ATM is one of Equity Bank’s dedicated self-service points within Westlands, located inside the Sarit Centre shopping mall — one of the district’s busiest retail hubs. This ATM point extends Equity Bank’s reach in Westlands beyond standard branch hours, allowing customers to withdraw cash, check account balances, and access mini-statements at their convenience while shopping or working in the area.
Offsite ATMs such as this one are part of Equity Bank’s broader agency and self-service banking network, which also includes mobile banking (Equity Mobile), internet banking, USSD banking (*247#), and a nationwide network of Equity bank agents and Cash Deposit Machines (CDMs) that allow customers to transact without visiting a full branch.
Digital and Alternative Banking Options in Westlands
Beyond its physical branches, Equity Bank offers several digital channels that Westlands-based customers frequently rely on to reduce the need for in-branch visits:
- Equity Mobile App — full-service mobile banking, including transfers, bill payments, and loan applications
- Internet Banking / Equity Online — for both individuals and businesses
- *USSD Banking (247#) — for basic transactions without internet access
- Equity Bank Agents — third-party agents across Westlands and neighboring estates offering deposit and withdrawal services
- Cash Deposit Machines (CDMs) — for self-service cash deposits
