How To Activate A Dormant Bank Account With Equity Bank In Kenya

by admin  - September 6, 2022

Equity bank is one of the banks in Kenya that are growing at a high rate to the extent of opening other branches outside Kenya (in East Africa). Equity bank in Kenya has almost opened branches in every corner of Kenya because I was surprised to see Equity bank at Lodwar town in Turkana County in Kenya which is far and located at the Northern part of Kenya. Equity Bank in Kenya is also a good bank in terms of savings. In essence, if you are a student in Kenya and you open a bank account with Equity, Equity Bank will not charge you monthly rate unless at the time of withdrawing money from your student account in Kenya.

There are various reasons why people opt to open an account with any bank in Kenya. Some open bank accounts in Kenya to cater for their business savings, to receive their salaries once they are employed, and others may decide to open out of pressure because their friends have also opened bank accounts. I personally opened an account with Equity bank because I wanted to be paid my dues by Independent Election and Boundary Commission (IEBC) of Kenya through Equity bank in Kenya when I was given a contract of three months in 2010. What happened is that I did not use my Equity bank account in Kenya because I was forced to open another bank account with Kenya commercial bank (KCB) in Kenya. From that moment, I did not deposit any amount to the Equity bank account I opened until recently when I decided to go and activate it because it had remained dormant for those years.

People in Kenya who open bank accounts out of peer pressure also find themselves in the situation I was whereby their Equity bank accounts in Kenya remain dormant for so long due lack of finances to save. I decided to go and activate my Equity Bank dormant account in Kenya when I realized that Equity bank in Kenya do not charge someone for saving, unlike other banks in Kenya that charge savings. I also realized that Equity bank in Kenya is the best place to deposit little amounts of money that you can get for future use.
