About Amka

Kenya's money information, made clearer.

Amka is an independent Kenyan money comparison and financial education platform. We bring rates, source-linked data, planning tools and explainers into one calm place so people can learn, compare and decide more clearly.

Why Amka exists

Useful money information in Kenya is scattered. Treasury Bill results come from the Central Bank, fund yields sit across provider pages, SACCO payouts are often annual, bank-rate snapshots update on their own schedules, while tax and pension information lives elsewhere.

That fragmentation makes simple questions unnecessarily difficult: What is current? What is only a reference snapshot? What does the percentage actually mean? Amka exists to organise those questions around visible sources, dates and plain-language explanations.

What we will never do

Amka does not recommend products, rank by opinion or promise returns. We do not take payment to move a product up a comparison table. “Highest” and “lowest” describe the published snapshot being shown, not suitability.

Amka is not licensed to give personalised investment advice and does not hold or handle user money. Our job is to make the underlying information easier to inspect and understand.

Who is behind it

Amka is an independent Kenyan project built with an audit-and-controls mindset: verify the source, date the evidence, distinguish current data from older reference snapshots, flag uncertainty and correct mistakes openly.

It has no affiliation with any employer, fund manager, SACCO, bank or institution whose data appears on the site. Questions, corrections or partnership ideas can be sent to hello.amka.kenya@gmail.com.

Where the numbers come from

Amka prioritises primary and official sources such as the Central Bank of Kenya, KNBS, CMA, RBA, KRA, Kenya Law, NSE, SASRA and licensed providers. When a comparison relies on an older verified snapshot, the date should remain visible rather than being presented as live.

Independent by design: Amka is an information and education service, not a bank, broker, fund manager or investment adviser. Verify current provider terms and regulatory status before committing money.
