Why ZuriMail

Kenya-hosted email isn't a nice-to-have.
For many businesses, it's a legal requirement.

Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019 restricts cross-border data transfers. If your email is on foreign servers, you may already be non-compliant.

01

Your data stays in Kenya

Every email is stored in our Tier III+ Nairobi data centres. No cross-border transfers, no foreign jurisdiction exposure - certifiable under Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019.

02

Billed in KES, not USD

No card required. No surprise currency conversion. ZuriMail plans are priced and invoiced in Kenyan Shillings, with M-Pesa as a first-class payment method - not an afterthought.

03

Support in your language

Our team is in Nairobi. We support you in Swahili and English, in your time zone, on WhatsApp - not a ticket queue routed through a helpdesk on another continent.

04

Built for compliance from day one

Law firms, clinics, and government contractors have specific email obligations under Kenyan law. ZuriMail ships with the audit logs, retention controls, and data residency guarantees they require.

Six Plans. One Platform.

Business email built for your sector.

Every plan is hosted in Nairobi, billed in KES via M-Pesa, and supported in Swahili and English. The tier determines the compliance controls, storage, and collaboration features on top.

FAQ

Common questions about ZuriMail.

More questions? Our Nairobi team is on WhatsApp.

Talk to us

How is ZuriMail different from Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?

Google and Microsoft store your email data on servers outside Kenya - typically in South Africa or Europe. ZuriMail stores all data in our Tier III+ Nairobi data centres, billed in KES via M-Pesa, with Swahili support. For businesses subject to Kenya's DPA, this is a meaningful legal and operational difference.

Can I migrate my existing email from Gmail or Outlook?

Yes. We provide free mailbox migration for all plans - our team handles the full cutover including DNS configuration, email history import, and contact migration. There is no downtime during the migration window.

Is ZuriMail compliant with Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019?

ZuriMail is designed for DPA alignment. All data is hosted within Kenya, we provide data processing agreements, consent logging, and DPIA documentation. We recommend engaging a certified DPO for formal legal sign-off specific to your organisation.

Do I need a credit card to sign up?

No. ZuriMail accepts M-Pesa as a first-class payment method across all plans. You can sign up, get set up, and pay your monthly invoice entirely through M-Pesa - no international card required.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

You own your data. On cancellation we provide a full export of all mailbox data in standard formats (EML, MBOX). We retain your data for 30 days post-cancellation before secure deletion, and we provide a deletion certificate on request.

Can ZuriMail work alongside Eza Cloud or other services?

Yes. Zuri Mail Office and above integrates natively with Eza Cloud for file storage and collaboration. ZuriMail also works standalone with any hosting provider - you don't need to be an Eza Cloud customer.

Ready to move your business email to Kenya?

Early access is open. Free migration from Gmail or Outlook - our Nairobi team handles everything.
