Solving the Distance Dilemma
for Kenyans Abroad.

Because of the logistical problems associated with being abroad, it is often difficult to transact, invest, or stay updated on opportunities back home. OWAID exists to bridge that gap.

Born from Necessity

For many Kenyans in the UAE, the dream is simple: work hard, build a life here, and secure a future back home. However, the reality is often complicated by distance.

Simple tasks like opening a bank account in Nairobi, securing a mortgage for a plot of land, or even processing a visa for a family member in Dubai can become administrative nightmares.

OWAID was founded to be the single point of contact that eliminates these hurdles. We combine verified authorization with local expertise to ensure you can bank like you are in Nairobi and do business like a Dubai native.
