Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services.

What is the difference between competitive and non-competitive bidding?
Non-competitive bids are accepted at the weighted average rate and are guaranteed allocation. Competitive bids specify a desired rate and may be partially or fully rejected if the rate is too high.
The Central Bank of Kenya conducts T-Bill auctions every other Wednesday. We submit bids on your behalf and confirm allocation the next business day.
Yes, withholding tax of 15% is deducted at source on T-Bill discount income. Net returns are still highly competitive compared to bank deposits.

Terms & Conditions

Treasury Bills are discount instruments issued by the Government of Kenya through the Central Bank. The Bank acts as an agent in submitting bids and does not guarantee allocation for competitive bids.

T-Bills are held in the Central Depository System (CDS) and can be traded in the secondary market. Withholding tax is deducted at source as prescribed by the Income Tax Act.
