For frequent travelers, online shoppers, and anyone managing expenses across borders, the KCB Multi-Currency Prepaid Card offers a convenient and secure way to transact globally. Supporting up to 18 major currencies, the card allows you to switch seamlessly between destinations without worrying about multiple accounts or unpredictable exchange rates.

Getting started is simple:

  1. Visit any KCB Branch

Walk into your nearest KCB branch with the required documents. Kenyan residents need to present their National ID and KRA PIN. Non-residents can also apply, provided they meet the current Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements.

  1. Complete the Application Form

At the branch, you’ll be guided to fill out a short application form. This captures your details and initiates the issuance of your card.

  1. Fund Your Card

Once your card is ready, you can load money instantly using the channel most convenient for you—M-Pesa, KCB iBank, or directly at any KCB branch. You can load in multiple currencies, making the card ideal for travel, international purchases, and managing foreign expenses.

The charges

At the same time, the charges associated with the KCB Multi-Currency Prepaid Card are friendly to your pocket. For instance:

  • Card Issuance Fee: Ksh 500 (exclusive of excise duty).
  • ATM Withdrawal Fees:
  • Ksh 30 for withdrawals at KCB ATMs (KES transactions).
  • Ksh 250 for withdrawals at other bank ATMs.
  • USD 2 for foreign currency withdrawals at KCB ATMs with matching currencies.
  • Wallet Transfers: Exchange rates apply based on the prevailing market rate.

With flexibility, global acceptance, and multi-currency support, the KCB Multi-Currency Prepaid Card is designed to put control, convenience, and peace of mind in your hands—wherever your journey takes you.
