← T-BILLS AND BONDS FOR BEGINNERS

Lesson 4 of 5 · 4 min

Buying through DhowCSD

You can buy directly from the Central Bank using DhowCSD, its online platform and app.

  • Open an account with your ID, KRA PIN and a bank account in your name.
  • Check the auction dates and the minimum amount on the CBK website.
  • Place your bid before the deadline. A non-competitive bid takes the average rate and is simplest for beginners.
  • If successful, pay by the deadline from your bank. Your bill or bond appears in your DhowCSD account.

Never pay anyone who offers to 'buy T-bills for you' through a personal number.
