How SWIFT works in Kenya
Banks in Kenya use SWIFT/BIC codes to receive international wires and cross-border payments. The country code in every Kenya BIC is KE (positions 5–6 of the code). When sending money into Kenya, always match both the SWIFT code and the recipient's bank branch/city to avoid routing errors.
Common questions about SWIFT/BIC codes in Kenya
How do I find my bank's SWIFT code in Kenya?
Search for your bank in the list on this page. You can also check your online banking, a bank statement, or ask your bank. Always confirm the code with the bank before you send money.
Is the SWIFT code the same for all branches?
Not always. An 8-character code names the bank. An 11-character code adds a branch or unit. Some banks accept the 8-character code for every branch and some need the exact branch code, so ask the bank you are paying.
Does Kenya use IBAN?
No. Kenya is not on our list of IBAN countries. To pay a bank there, use the bank's SWIFT/BIC code and the account number of the person you are paying.
How do I check that a SWIFT code is right?
Search the code or the bank name on this page and compare the bank name, city and branch. Then confirm it with the bank you are paying. A code that looks right does not prove the account exists.
Is a SWIFT code the same as my account number?
No. A SWIFT/BIC code names the bank, not you. To receive money you also need your account number, or your IBAN if your country uses one.
