Hosted in Kenya through our Nairobi availability zone. Data stays within Kenya, relevant for organisations that need local data residency for email under the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019.
Kenyan organisations and businesses across these sectors rely on this service.
Kenya's Law Society of Kenya-registered firms and professional services practices need @firm.co.ke email for client communications. Kenya Data Protection Act 2019's principle of data minimisation and local data handling makes Nairobi-hosted email the compliant default for privileged client correspondence.
CBK-licensed commercial banks (Equity Bank, KCB, Cooperative Bank, Standard Chartered Kenya), microfinance institutions, and payment service providers need auditable email with Kenya data residency and retention policies aligned to Central Bank of Kenya risk management guidelines.
Kenya's startup ecosystem, anchored by iHub, Nairobi Garage, and Konza Technopolis, produces fast-growing companies that need business email scaling from 5 to 500 mailboxes. KES billing with M-Pesa payment removes the USD FX friction that kills startup cash flow.
Kenya's 47 county governments and national government agencies need professional email infrastructure that satisfies ICTA procurement guidelines. County executives, directors, and public servants increasingly need auditable email with Kenya data residency under the Data Protection Act.
