Is there any Kenyan bank not offering this?

Try KCB uje uniambie. Pia speed of transactions processing matters.

It depends on your understanding of Dollar denominated. Most banks don’t issue such cards.

They offer USD accounts.

Nielimishe. I assumed it is a dollar account.

You’re almost there. I’m looking for a dollar account that comes with an ATM card. Most local banks(if not all) offer dollar accounts but very few issue ATM cards (debit cards) to access the said dollars. Transactions are basically OTC or online never at POS terminals. Alternatively, even a prepaid card that is dollar denominated would still do. I just don’t want any sort of currency conversion whenever I swipe the card. Nimegundua I’m paying upwards of KES 110 to the dollar whenever I use my local currency ATM at some pay points

Angalia KCB, but first confirm whether their usd ATM at anniversary towers and everywhere else still work. You could also consider operating both the KES and USD accounts on the same bank. Many banks will allow you to negotiate the exchange rate.

Never exchange your dollars at any Kenyan bank… Their rates are so low …better Dhahabshil. Right now shilling is at 102.7 utashangaa kcb wananunua dollars at 98

I have a Payoneer Card.I love using it at the I&M ATMs, the ones that you just insert the card, then remove it and continue doing the transactions without the card being in the machine, even inserting the PIN.
BTW, how come other Banks do not have such ATMs?They are much more secure!

GERALD9949 · November 21, 2018, 6:42pm

And Visa Infinite from I&M is NOT a debit card.It is a Credit card. What I&M offers is the Multicurrency Prepaid Debit card. One of my parents had the Visa Infinite .Ridiculous repayment terms
