Absa Targets Kenyans in the Diaspora with an Online Banking Solution

Kenyans living abroad will have access to more banking services after Absa Bank Kenya has launched a new digital solution.

According to the lender, the new platform will provide banking, savings, and payment services.

Absa Managing Director Abdi Mohamed stated that the solution will enable those in the diaspora to invest in local projects.

“As a partner embracing digital technology, we understand Kenyans’ aspirations and it’s our commitment to unlocking their immense economic potential and value through innovative people-centered solutions,” Mohamed said.

“This proposition will offer various banking options as if the customers were living in Kenya. Whether Kenyans in the Diaspora are living in other African countries, the Middle East, America, or Europe, they can continue transacting without having to travel back home,” he added.

Similarly, it will make it easier to transfer money from banks to phones, which is a popular payment method for education, medical care, household expenses, groceries, and shopping.

Absa adds that the platform will allow users to access their savings and payment options on smartphones, tablets, and computers using different currencies.
