Banking in Kenya



Banking in Kenya

The three major banks in Kenya are Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), Barclays Bank and Standard Chartered. Barclays and Standard Chartered have a strong presence in many African countries, while KCB is partly owned by the Kenyan government. These banks have offices in many cities and towns throughout Kenya. KCB has 119 branches in Kenya, Barclays 43 and Standard Chartered 28.
Other banks with a strong presence include Cooperative Bank, National Bank,  Equity Bank, Family Finance Bank, NIC Bank, Bank Of Baroda, Citi Bank among many others.
Of late Kenya has seen an emergence of investment banks like Zimele Asset Management, Old Mutual and Suntra Investment Bank.
Many Kenyan employees also bank with numerous Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs)
Furthermore, Western Union can be handy if you have to send money to Kenya, as offices in 200 countries world-wide. Various banks in Kenya(among them the Post Bank) function as the local agents of Western Union
Money Gram money transfer is also another means of sending money to Kenya. The Kenya Cooperative Bank is Money Gram's local agent.
Most bank offices have ATMs (cash machines), so you'll find an ATM in most cities and towns in Kenya. But not all ATMs accept all international cards. Visa cards are the most widely supported. Other cards include MasterCard, Cirrus and Point cards. Check debit or credit card whether it shows any of these logos. In general, Barclays Bank ATMs accept all the mentioned card types.
Changing money is possible at all banks in Kenya (as well as some big hotels), but they charge higher commissions and/or flat fees than foreign exchange bureaus or Forex Bureaus found in the major cities of Nairobi and Mombasa. Since money changers like to keep their exchange rates and tariffs shady, always ask that they fully explain their prices to you.
