Send money to Kenya.

The short answer

Kenya runs on mobile money, and Dutch Remit is built around that: most transfers settle straight to a recipient's mobile money account in Kenyan shillings, with bank transfer available as a fallback.

Where the money lands

Why mobile money first

Mobile money is the default way most people in Kenya send, receive and hold money day to day. Routing payouts there first, instead of a bank account, is usually the fastest way for a recipient to use the funds.

Can I send straight to mobile money in Kenya?

Yes. Mobile money is the main payout rail for Kenya and needs only the recipient's phone number, where supported.

How fast is a transfer to Kenya?

Speed depends on the rail and the time of day. Mobile money payouts are usually the quickest, and the app shows the expected timing before you confirm.
