In a country where mobile phones are more widespread than bank branches, USSD codes have become a critical bridge between financial institutions and the public.
Kenyan banks and microfinance institutions deploy these short, dial-based codes to ensure that essential financial services such as money transfers, balance inquiries and loan applications are accessible to millions of customers regardless of smartphone ownership, internet availability, or geographic location.
Through these unique codes, lenders are able to reach diverse customers, including rural communities, informal traders, and low-income households.
Below are the USSD Codes for various banks and microfinance institutions in Kenya.
