Kenya’s digital economy is creating new opportunities for consumers and businesses, but it is also creating more channels for fraud. The latest consumer complaints data from the Communications Authority of Kenya shows that fraud is no longer confined to suspicious calls and text messages. It is increasingly appearing across mobile money, digital financial services, social media, personal data and other digital platforms. Between April and June 2026, the Authority received 110 complaints relating to Digital Financial Services and Mobile Money. The Authority says combating digital fraud requires cooperation between telecommunications operators, financial-sector regulators, financial institutions, law enforcement agencies, cybersecurity stakeholders and technology platforms.
