The name “Uhuru” reflects the unique offering which provides customers an account with no monthly management fees, a gold visa debit card that can be used globally and more freedom to transact through its self-service channels on mobile devices.

Following feedback from its customers, the bank has enhanced its Personal Banking offer that previously segmented accounts as Silver, Gold, and Blue.
