Mashreq Business Account for Kenyans

Why Mashreq

Put simply, if Mashreq is not the right fit for your profile, we say so and introduce you to a bank that is, because a well-matched application is approved faster. Account opening at Mashreq is a compliance process, not a sales process: the bank wants to understand who you are, what you sell, who pays you and where the money comes from. As a rule, kenyan applicants benefit from the fact that Mashreq already has many Kenyan shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Kenya documents and name formats instantly.
