NSSF Portal: How to Register and Pay Online

Most Kenyans are known to live day to day, not minding to plan for their sunset years. Having a retirement plan assures one of living comfortably, even when retirement comes calling and you no longer have the energy to work for your livelihood.

The government of Kenya, through the National Social Security Fund, has enabled all Kenyans, despite their economic status, to have a pool whereby they can save for their after-years by paying monthly premiums to NSSF.

What is even better is that one can access the NSSF services through their online self-service portalhttp://www.nssf.or.ke/
