How do I get started with EBO mobile app?

What if I don't remember my account number?

Security & Troubleshooting
Is EBO mobile app secure?
Absolutely. We use industry-standard encryption, secure PIN and 2-factor authentication, and session timeouts to protect your data. Never share your PIN or OTP with anyone.
What should I do if my phone is lost or stolen?
Contact your mobile network provider to bar your SIM card immediately. Then, call EBO SACCO customer support to temporarily block mobile banking access to your SACCO account.
I received an OTP I didn't request. What does it mean?
Do not share this OTP with anyone. This likely means someone else is trying to access your account but cannot proceed without the OTP. Change your PIN immediately and contact customer support to report the incident.
The app is slow/crashing. What can I do?
First, check your internet connection. Then, ensure you have the latest version of the app installed from the app store. If the problem continues, try closing the app completely and reopening it, or restart your phone.
I'm getting an error message during a transaction. What should I do?
Note the exact error code and message. Common reasons include insufficient funds, network issues, or exceeded transaction limits. If you cannot resolve it, contact support with the error details.
Support & Help
Who do I contact for help?
You can find help within the app under "Call Us" or "Email Us." This section will provide our phone numbers, email address, and physical branch locations. Our support team is available during working hours.
