    Abstract

    This study examines the determinants of non-interest income in Kenya’s commercial banks. Using panel data for the period 2003-2012 the study concludes that non interest income of commercial banks in Kenya is affected by management efficiency, bank size, technological innovation and macroeconomic factors. An important policy implication of this article is that government should make every effort to create conducive environment for competition in the banking sector so as to ensure efficiency and expansion of the banking sector in terms of deposit mobilization by commercial banks. Moderating the lending rates of commercial banks may reduce overreliance on traditional interest income.
