The primary thing that Kenyans look for when scouting for financial services is convenience. The younger the audience, the more attuned they are to this important aspect of financial inclusion.
Similarly, when scouting for a financial services provider, Kenyans evaluate many factors such as transaction charges, proximity to outlets, customer care services, and how advanced the digital systems of the financial services provider in question are.
Constantly ahead of the pack, Cooperative Bank, the leading banking solutions provider in Kenya, in line with its consistent culture of innovation, has launched the Young Ennovators Account (YEA Account), targeting youth aged 18 to 35 years with ambitious dreams and looking to make things happen.
These could be first-time job holders, individuals in business, content creators, and university students.
The account allows you to manage your money more effectively and achieve your long-term financial goals, enabling you to secure your future. In line with the fast-moving digital world, all users need to do to open an account is download the YEA app on the Google Play Store, after which they can get started immediately.
