The Commercial Bank of Africa (CBA) has introduced a new product that targets young urban professionals who want to bank on the go while on their smartphone or computer. The account can be opened from an app, Android at the moment, and on the web.

Kenyan banks have been increasingly creating digital products geared at getting customers who do not want to visit bank branches and CBA are taking the same route. CBA is not new to digital finance products as they partnered with Safaricom to launch M-Pesa and thereafter launched the mobile digital loan product, M-shwari.

How it works

1. Registration

To register for the CBA Loop account, you need to download the Android app , iOS app or go to their website cbaloop.com. From there, you will be able to register for a new account.

Among the things you will be asked is your legal name, ID number and phone number. After completing filling in your details you will receive a PIN via SMS to activate your profile.

Once registration is done, you will need to choose a Loop centre that is near you where you’ll be able to collect a debit card for the account. You will get an SMS with a code that you will need when collecting your card.

The Loop stores are currently at; Yaya Centre, Garden City Mall, Mama Ngina Street, Sarit Centre, The Point BuruBuru and at Masai Mall in Rongai.

2. Card collection and KYC

    Hi …
    Thanks for the quick summary on what LOOP is about.
    Would like to add a comments regarding the Loop invest feature:
    There are different interest rates applied depending on the period selected and not simply a flat rate of 7.5% as earlier stated…
    For instance
    3 months = 7.5%
    6 months = 8.0%
    9 months = 8.5%
    12 months = 9.0%
    Cheers.
