Our verdict
KiiBank pays a fixed rate that suits savers in CM who can leave money in place and want the return set at the point of saving. The catch is the XAF 5,000 minimum deposit and a single market, so anyone starting small or holding sterling or euro should weigh Wise and bunq first.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A single lump sum can be paid in from a KiiBank account, and automatic saving also runs daily, weekly or monthly through Flexi Saving and Save while Spending, so the account works for regular savers as well as depositors.
- The account kind is fixed with a fixed rate, so the return is set when the money goes in and is not reset by later rate moves.
- The money is held by a named company, KiiBase Ltd, with its head office in Cameroon, so the counterparty is clear.
- KiiBank scores 9.9 on this site, with the offer part of that score at 9.9.
Cons
- The account asks for a minimum deposit of XAF 5,000, so a saver without that balance has to build up before the account opens.
- The fixed rate and the fixed account kind mean the money is tied, while easy access accounts make up 75.2% of savings listings on this site.
- KiiBank is based in Cameroon and works in that market's currency, so its 15% is not directly comparable with bunq at 3.01% or Wise at 3.29%.
Who it suits
- Savers in CM paid in the local currency who can place XAF 5,000 and leave it where it is.
- People already holding a KiiBank account who want to add a daily, weekly or monthly automatic saving through Flexi Saving or Save while Spending.
- Savers who prefer a known return, since the account is fixed and the rate type is fixed.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers whose savings sit in sterling or euro: bunq pays 3.01% and Wise pays 3.29%, while KiiBank is based in Cameroon and deals in that market's currency.
- People with an emergency fund: the account kind is fixed, and easy access accounts are 75.2% of savings listings here, so a saver who may need the money back should compare Wise at 3.29% or bunq at 3.01% first.
- Anyone whose balance sits below XAF 5,000, since the minimum has to be there before the account opens and a smaller saver would have to look at other brands.
Access to your money
KiiBank is set up for regular saving habits as much as for a single deposit. A single lump sum can be paid in from an existing KiiBank account, and automatic saving runs daily, weekly or monthly through two named products, Flexi Saving and Save while Spending. The second route is tied to day to day spending, so saving happens as money leaves the account rather than on a single transfer date. That flexibility matters for anyone building a balance slowly rather than waiting to accumulate one large sum. The rate type is fixed, so the return is agreed when the saving starts and is not adjusted part way through. The flip side is that the money is committed: this is not a place to keep a balance you expect to draw on at short notice, and the automatic routes only make sense if the schedule keeps running.
Rates and card terms
Everything that matters for the return sits in two figures. The headline rate is 15% and the rate type is fixed, so the number is locked for the life of the placement rather than drifting with market rates. Set against the rest of this site, the median across savings listings is 3% and the median across term deposits is 6%, so the gap is wide on both counts. On headline rate, KiiBank sits at position 20 of 488 here. The named alternatives publish lower single figures: bunq pays 3.01%, Wise pays 3.29% and Finteres pays 0% to 36%. Those numbers are not interchangeable, because they belong to different markets and different currencies. A high fixed rate is worth only what you can leave untouched, so the rate should be read alongside the access terms rather than on its own.
The company behind it
The money sits with a named company rather than a trading platform. The legal entity is KiiBase Ltd, with its head office in Cameroon, which tells a saver exactly which company stands behind the balance and which jurisdiction its rules come from. The licence published for the business is 0000056/ART/DG/DCCI/SDC/SC/CAI, issued by ART (Autorité de Régulation des Communications Electroniques) via DG/DCCI/SDC/SC/CAI. It is worth being precise about what that licence speaks to, because ART regulates electronic communications and the licence on record concerns the services KiiBank provides rather than the savings balance itself. Deposit protection is not among the licences on record, so there is no stated guarantee sitting behind the money. For readers who weigh the safety of savings as heavily as the rate, that belongs in the decision rather than at the edge of it.

Frequently asked questions
What rate do I get on a KiiBank savings account?+
KiiBank pays a headline rate of 15% with a rate type of fixed, so the figure is set when the saving starts rather than moving afterwards. The median across savings listings on this site is 3%, and the median across term deposits is 6%. On headline rate, KiiBank ranks 20 of 488.
Is my money protected if I save with KiiBank?+
Deposit protection is not among the licences on record for KiiBank, which list only 0000056/ART/DG/DCCI/SDC/SC/CAI, issued by ART (Autorité de Régulation des Communications Electroniques) via DG/DCCI/SDC/SC/CAI. ART regulates electronic communications, so that licence speaks to the services rather than to the savings balance. No stated guarantee sits behind the money held with KiiBase Ltd.
How much do I need to put in to open the account?+
The account asks for a minimum deposit of XAF 5,000, which is a genuine starting balance rather than a token amount. A saver with less than that has to build up first, either by accumulating before opening the account or by using the automatic saving routes, which add money on a daily, weekly or monthly rhythm instead of one transfer.
Can I save in smaller amounts over time rather than one lump sum?+
KiiBank describes a single lump sum paid in from a KiiBank account, plus automatic saving that runs daily, weekly or monthly through Flexi Saving and Save while Spending. The automatic routes are the practical way in for anyone not holding one large balance, and the money still builds towards the XAF 5,000 minimum that the account asks for.
What type of account is it, fixed or variable?+
It is a fixed account paying a fixed rate, listed under the fixed-rate model. Fixed accounts account for 19.1% of savings listings on this site, against 75.2% for easy access, so money placed here is committed for the term rather than kept liquid.
Who runs KiiBank and where are they based?+
The account is run by KiiBase Ltd, with its head office in Cameroon. That matters for anyone deciding where to place a balance, because it sets out which company stands behind the money and which jurisdiction its rules come from. Savers who are paid in another currency would need to weigh that against the local currency the account is opened in.
How does KiiBank compare with the other brands here?+
KiiBank's 15% sits above bunq at 3.01% and Wise at 3.29%, while Finteres pays 0% to 36% across a range that reaches higher. The comparison is not clean, because the figures belong to different markets and currencies, and KiiBank serves readers in Cameroon.
How does KiiBank score on this site?+
KiiBank scores 9.9 here, and the offer part of that score is 9.9. Those figures describe the rating rather than the account terms, so they are worth reading next to the fixed rate of 15% and the XAF 5,000 minimum deposit before any decision is made.
