It analyzed the key information required by banks in their lending decisions and assessed the quality of information contained in financial statements that result into favorable bank lending. The sample was selected randomly from loan officers of the three financial institutions which where NBC, NMB and CRDB. Total respondents were 88 and the tools used for collecting data were questionnaires and interview. The data were then processed and analyzed through SPSS and presented in form of tables, frequencies and percentages. The findings of the study revealed that the key information required by banks in the lending decisions were balance sheet, income statement, business plan and budget for next years. The study further discovered that there are other information required by banks in their lending decision.
