The umbrella body for Kenya’s finance and technology landscape.
To foster excellence and innovation in Kenya's fintech sector through education, collaboration and advocacy.
Who we are
Built by the industry, for the industry.
The Fintech Association of Kenya is the umbrella body that represents all the players in the finance and technology landscape in Kenya. We exist because a sector this consequential, payments, lending, banking infrastructure, digital assets and insurtech, needs a single credible voice when rules are written, standards are set and partnerships are formed.
We serve as a resource and forum for education, information sharing and networking between companies, policymakers, the general public and other associations. Since 2020 that has meant working with regulators and the legislature on the frameworks shaping the market, building programmes for financial literacy and consumer trust, and connecting Kenyan fintech to a global network through our membership of the Alliance of Digital Finance and Fintech Associations.
