“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,” said Absa Kenya Managing Director Abdi Mohamed.
“This proposition will offer various banking options as if the customers were living in Kenya,” he added.
“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.”
