 If you are a Kenyan living abroad, your investment back home plays an important role in the development of our country's economy through your investments. To ensure a safe, secure, and efficient way for you to invest back home, you have a number of channels, banks, mobile apps, and websites that have a lot of valuable information. This useful information has been compiled together in a comprehensive guide called Send Money and Invest in Kenya, a guide for diaspora remittances and investments. This booklet has details necessary for you to utilize available technology and online platforms in a way that will save you time and money. So this guide helps by bringing together a lot of information and analyzing it and providing guidelines as to how Kenyans in diaspora can invest, and particularly the investments that will help streamline them in national development. First of all, you have a number of options if you need to open a bank account in Kenya Shillings or a foreign currency. A diaspora account can be a personal account, a business account, a Chama or investment group account, a savings account, a fixed or call deposit account. The diaspora guide is very specific and details in terms of the pros and cons of each, including the key features of every account. Through online banking, you can manage your accounts and make payments either through the bank's website or through mobile apps. Applications such as SafariCom's M-Pesa and Airtel Money also integrate seamlessly when you want to transform money to your wallet. Today the penetration of the mobile phone technology in Kenya is extremely high. People are doing all their transactions, communications, etc. through the phone. So the phone is a very robust channel and so we thought through a process on how can we allow people to buy securities through their mobile phones. There are over 40 licensed commercial banks in Kenya and over 20 of them offer diaspora financial services. Most of them also offer mobile banking and internet banking services. Have a look at the diaspora investment guide and see what services the commercial banks have to offer and make an informed decision. The diaspora booklet also has useful tools for other financial services and products. Private and public sectors have developed a range of financial tools which can assist you to make financial payments and decisions on web platforms. Top on this list we have Gini Markets that compares banking and insurance services, the APR calculator which gives you cost of credit and how much loans and mortgages will cost and the unclaimed financial assets authority which tracks and traces assets such as dormant bank accounts, dividends from stocks, unclaimed debt benefits and so much more. If you have considered investing at the Nairobi Securities Exchange or in government bonds or in Kenya's vibrant real estate market, the investment guide goes into details to ensure you have all the information you need. Flip the pages and get step-by-step instructions on how to start a business, start a charmer or investment club and invest in Kenya's capital markets. The NSE has been at the forefront of trying to find solutions for investors to access markets. One of the biggest impediments for the growth of markets in Africa has been the lack of easy accessible channels. Today if investors have to buy shares or other forms of securities they must actually come either to the city or to the broken houses and then be able to buy those shares. Some broken houses are going to step forward and offered internet platforms for ability to buy but that hasn't been sufficient because if you still have to open an account you still have to come to a broken house. So we realize that for us to allow a high level of financial inclusion across the board and make it very easy even for the when jit go on the streets to buy securities that we needed to create an ecosystem around what they used to. That ecosystem happens to be their phone. Additional investment information is available from the Kenya Investment Authority, Ken Invest, which has developed the Kenya Investment Portal.
