NCBA personal and business accounts

Customers can enquire about eligible personal current accounts, savings products, term deposits and business banking accounts. An account’s minimum deposit, fees, interest, card availability and transaction limits depend on its current published terms. Business and organisation accounts may require registration documents and approved signatories.

  • Personal current accounts for everyday transactions and payments.
  • Savings and deposit products for planned goals or longer-term saving.
  • Business banking accounts for receiving payments and managing cash flow.
  • Corporate and institutional services for authorised organisations.
  • Supported international banking or foreign-currency accounts, subject to eligibility.

NCBA NOW app and mobile banking

The NCBA NOW app allows eligible users to check balances, make transfers, pay bills, manage supported cards and access available financial products. The bank also provides the *488# USSD service for eligible registered customers. Mobile features and fees differ according to the customer’s account and approval status.

NCBA internet banking

NCBA provides an authenticated internet banking platform and a Self Service Portal for registration and token management. Eligible customers use their bank-issued login details and approved soft or hardware authentication tokens. Corporate account access may include initiator and authoriser workflows.

For full steps, see the NCBA internet banking registration and login guide.

Personal loans and salary advances

NCBA offers personal secured and unsecured loans, employer check-off facilities, salary advances, education borrowing and selected digital personal loans. Its advertised terms depend on the product. For example, the bank’s Kenya personal loan page lists eligible salary check-off and non-check-off options, while the NCBA NOW app offers digital loans to qualifying customers. Borrowers must pass credit and affordability checks.

Vehicle and asset finance

NCBA provides car finance, refinancing and selected asset financing for vehicles, equipment and business needs. Its asset-finance service includes a digital application route and the CarDuka platform, which helps customers explore vehicles and financing options. Available financing, the required deposit, vehicle age limit and repayment term depend on the specific loan and asset.
