KCB Bank, the largest financial institution in East Africa, has partnered with Compass Plus Technologies to strengthen its multi-currency offering by launching Kenya’s first platinum multi-currency prepaid card which will empower its customers with the flexibility and convenience they need to pay for goods and access funds across borders.
The card allows users to load and transact in 11 currencies – Kenyan Shilling, US Dollar, British Pound Sterling, Euro, Swiss Franc, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Indian Rupee, Japanese Yen, South African Rand, and Chinese Yuan – some of the most popular among its customers, all while helping users avoid the typical exchange fees associated with currency conversion.
KCB Bank has been working with Compass Plus Technologies since 2012, when the bank successfully consolidated its three separate systems into one flexible in-house processing centre to handle its issuing, ATM, and POS acquiring businesses. Since then, the two parties have worked together on multiple projects.
