The Absa Bank Kenya Paybill number is 303030, and the account number is the Absa account you are paying into.

Other Absa numbers do other jobs: 303069 loads an Absa prepaid card, and 300067 repays a Timiza loan. Going the other way, Absa charges KES 16.50 to send KES 1,000 from your account to M-Pesa.
