Savings account comparison coming soon

We're gathering interest rate data from all CBK-licensed banks to build the most comprehensive savings account comparison in Kenya.

In the meantime, here's what you need to know:

🏦 Bank savings rates range from 2-7%

Most banks pay 3-5% on savings accounts. A few pay up to 7% for high-balance tiers. Always compare the effective rate, not the advertised rate.

📅 Fixed deposits pay more

If you can lock your money for 3-12 months, fixed deposits pay 7-12%. Check our fixed deposit comparison.

🏛️ SACCOs pay 8-11%

If you qualify for membership, SACCOs consistently outperform banks on deposit returns.

📱 Digital banks often pay more

KCB App, NCBA Loop, and Equity Eazzy sometimes offer promotional rates above 5%. Check the fine print — these are often temporary.
