Pros and cons
Pros
- Incoming EFTs and RTGSs cost KES 0 on the current account.
- Transfers clear the same day: Same-day EFT processing, cut-off 4 pm EAT on the current account.
- The savings side is an easy access account paying a variable rate rather than a fixed one.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, and payouts cover bank and wallet.
Cons
- The current account charges a monthly fee of KES 350 even though the listed model reads no monthly fee.
- Withdrawals on the easy access saver account are limited to a set number, though incoming transfers stay free.
- The saver account starts at a minimum deposit of KES 1,000, so a balance has to be built before it is useful.
Who it suits
- Businesses and travellers, the audiences the bank lists for its foreign currency account: travelers and business.
- Anyone receiving Kenyan EFTs and RTGSs, which cost KES 0 to receive.
- Savers able to place a minimum deposit of KES 1,000 and plan around a limited number of withdrawals.
Who should look elsewhere
- PayPal Colombia, whose monthly fee is $0, if you do not need a Kenyan current account with same-day EFT processing.
- Plazo ES, whose monthly fee is €0, if a euro balance matters more than local payments.
- Skrill, whose monthly fee is €0, if you want a wallet rather than a regulated bank account.

Frequently asked questions
What does the current account cost?+
The current account charges a monthly fee of KES 350, while the listed model reads no monthly fee. Anyone comparing costs should check which account the fee applies to, since the savings side is a separate product with its own minimum deposit of KES 1,000.
What does it cost to receive money?+
Receiving is the cheap side: KES 0 for incoming EFTs and RTGSs, and the fee line is listed as Free for incoming EFTs and RTGSs. The same terms on the saver account mean a transfer in does not eat into the minimum deposit of KES 1,000.
How fast do payments arrive?+
Payments clear the same day: Same-day EFT processing, cut-off 4 pm EAT on the current account. Incoming RTGSs and EFTs carry no charge, so the speed adds nothing to the bill. The cut-off time matters for anyone sending late in the day.
Who regulates the bank?+
The account belongs to Credit Bank PLC, headquartered in Kenya, and the regulator named is the Central Bank of Kenya. The licence holder is a bank rather than an e-money provider, so the deposit sits with a supervised institution.
How do I reach support?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which covers most account questions. The same team handles the monthly fee of KES 350 on the current account and the access terms on the saver account, including the free periodic e-statements.
What does the saver account need?+
The saver account is an easy access account and asks for a minimum deposit of KES 1,000. Access terms give free incoming EFTs and RTGSs and free periodic e-statements, with withdrawals limited to a set number. The rate type is variable.
What is the foreign currency account for?+
The foreign currency account is aimed at travelers and business and holds 4 currencies. It suits people who receive money in another currency and want a local balance alongside it. Payouts on the transfer side cover bank and wallet, so money can go to a bank account or a wallet.
How does it compare with the alternatives here?+
Among the alternatives here, PayPal Colombia lists $0 as its monthly fee, Plazo ES lists €0 and Skrill lists €0, against KES 350 on the Credit Bank Konnect current account. The difference is a licensed bank with same-day processing.
