The services available on the new NatMobile app includes account to account & account to mobile transfers, Mvisa, Pesalink, forex rate information, statement requests and applications for chequebooks and cards. Other services available are school fees payments, Credit Card statements, NHIF contributions, and Kenya power utility payments.

Our goal is to become the go-to digital bank and we are therefore excited over our unique mobile banking solutions, which offer versatility to our customers,” said Musau.
The new mobile banking platform can be accessed through the Bank’s USSD code *625# or the mobile app. All transactions are authenticated by an OTP (One Time Pin) validation through customers’ registered phone numbers.
