Hi all,

I currently reside outside Kenya and i am interested in finding out which bank has the best online banking facility. Online banking is my primary medium for transacting in Kenya. I currently bank with a bank that shall remain un-named but I am deeply frustrated with it. I can never seem to log in - theres always an issue.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

G

Agreed. CBA

Be sure to always negotiate your exchange rates.

In as much as I complain at times, I still love CFC. The fact that I can transfer money online to another CFC account without any transfer charges, makes it the best for me.

I have used a few...though I am yet to use the CBA one despite having an account there. Can I transfer money directly from the account to Mpesa? The ECB one allows that and its quite fast. Even before you log out, money has already been credited into your Mpesa account.

I have used CBA, Chase, Simba na DTB. CBA's has always been on top of them all. It was the first bank in Kenya to introduce real transaction online banking when other banks only provided 'view only' online banking. Simba is also very good especially in mobile banking. For those who frequently deal with mpesa it's cheaper to transfer from bank to mpesa as opposed to deposit then transfer. For 70k Simba will charge you KES 55 if am not wrong as opposed to mpesa KES110 charge.

I have been with Simba for several years now and it has not dissapointed me, However it gets tricky when am in a country where my Kenyan line doesn't roam or it takes long to deliver a transaction code (TAN)which is always sent to cell phone number. TAN is timed to 2Minutes only b4 it expire.

Have you factored in the USSD charges?

I bank with both Stanchart and CBA and CBA tops them all, user friendly and the fact that they give you a dongle makes it even more secure, I keep thinking if someone got the password for my stanchart account, they can wipe it clean in a minute. With CBA, the person has to have to have more than my log in details, dongle pin and the dongle itself.

my 2 cents based on experience:

i. KCB- Terrible. The bank has to send you a TAN via your phone line to access your acct and another TAN to make a transaction. You have ti receive the TAN within 2 minutes before it expires. Most of the time the TAN does not either come thru or the transactions fails to go thru;

ii. Coop. Gives a card kama ile ya KANU for any transaction. Unochomoa and then you check the codes as per online prompts. Looks archaic but works. I use it for Coop to Coop transactions only.

Looks like CBA is the way to go and i will try it too.

Whenever you dial that code, you're charged by your service provider.
