Equity Bank Kenya has partnered with American Express (AmEx) and Majid Al Futtaim’s Carrefour Kenya. This collaboration aims to provide secure, world-class payment solutions and advance financial inclusion within the country’s retail ecosystem.
Equity Bank, as the exclusive issuer and acquirer of American Express cards in Kenya, offers the Green and Gold American Express Cards. These cards are designed to cater to the diverse needs of Kenyan consumers, providing benefits such as Membership Rewards points, travel insurance, and access to global merchant networks.
The partnership with Carrefour Kenya integrates these payment solutions into one of Kenya’s leading retail chains. This integration not only enhances the shopping experience for consumers but also promotes the adoption of cashless transactions, aligning with global trends in digital finance.

At the same time, Equity Bank and American Express have revamped the Membership Rewards redemption experience, offering cardholders a more user-friendly platform to redeem points for a variety of rewards, including travel, electronics, and merchandise. This initiative reflects the commitment to leveraging technology to provide value-added services to customers.
There is no doubt that the integration of American Express card acceptance at Carrefour outlets facilitates broader access to financial services. It encourages more consumers to engage in formal banking and digital payment systems, contributing to the overall goal of financial inclusion in Kenya.
This tripartite partnership serves as a model for how financial institutions and retailers can collaborate to enhance service delivery and promote economic growth. Such alliances can drive innovation and provide consumers with convenient, secure, and rewarding shopping experiences.
