Uber has resumed accepting Visa cards in Kenya, just over nine months after it stopped the service. Riders in Nairobi received a notification on Friday, September 4, 2026, announcing the return of the payment method.

• Visa, which was previously dropped by Uber in Kenya due to rising payment costs, is now available again.
• The change marks a significant shift for Uber in Kenya, where Visa is the largest card scheme by cardholders.
• Both Uber and Visa have not publicly disclosed the terms of their agreement that led to this reinstatement.
