Lesson 4 of 6 · 4 min

Opening an account

Most funds let you open an account online or through an app in a few minutes. You'll usually need:

  • your national ID or passport
  • your KRA PIN
  • a phone number and email address
  • your bank or M-Pesa details for withdrawals
  • a next of kin

You then deposit using the fund's own Paybill or bank account. Never send money to a personal number, even if someone says they work for the fund.
