It is important to note that the Equity online services are available 24/7, allowing you to process eCitizen payments anytime and from anywhere. When making an online payment, you will be charged KES 36/=. To provide evidence of payment, you will receive an SMS and email notification. Additionally, you can generate a receipt after completing the payment online.
Remember that after making the payment using the online channels, you still need to complete the transaction on the eCitizen portal. This ensures that the entire process is successfully finalized. If you are paying for a visa, it is worth noting that foreign currency, specifically USD, is accepted.
If you require any support while processing the payments, you can reach out to Equity Bank’s 24-hour contact centre at 0763 000 000 or visit the nearest branch for assistance.
