Project Background

The Commonwealth Fund for Technical Co-operation (CFTC) is supporting a project aimed at institutional strengthening of the Kenya School of Monetary Studies e-banking capability.
E-Banking has been identified as a strategy of enhancing banking services to poor communities in Kenya as part of implementing Vision 2030. The explosion of mobile banking through mobile money transfers such as Safaricom’s M-Pesa, AirTel’s Airtel money & Orange Kenya’s Orange money transfer systems & others, means that there is a need to develop the country’s capacity to deal with these new methods of banking. More so, none core banking institutions such as Telcos and system integrators have identified other enterprising opportunities which are enabling them to participate in this lucrative trade. This has necessitated an urgency to put in place a minimum operational standard which can maintain the regulatory role of the Central Bank of Kenya while encouraging innovation and creativity.
The KSMS is an autonomous public institution owned by the Central Bank of Kenya & the Ministry of Finance. The School was established in 1997 to address training needs of the banking sector in Kenya & improve performance & quality of service & standards in the financial sector. The project will introduce a framework for sound e-banking training & curriculum, guide the management on strategic & key issues on wider e-banking policies & practice, as well as lead collaboration with international financial management institutions abroad to share best practice.
It is expected that in the longer term this will lead to increased accessibility of e-banking services to all sectors of the Kenyan economy & a more robust financial regulatory regime on e-banking. The project will also contribute to strengthening monitoring & regulatory capacity of the Central Bank of Kenya on e-banking.
