Ways to send money from Brazil to Kenya

There are 6 ways to send money to Kenya across 5 money transfer companies.

For everyday transfers

Online transfers

For most transfers from Brazil to Kenya, money transfer companies like Revolut are the cheapest way.

You can fund an online transfer with bank transfer, debit card, and pix.

Revolut charges R$60 and adds 0.56% markup when sending R$40,000, this will get you 990,180 KES in Kenya.

For property and other large transfers

Currency brokers

Brokers are best for large transfers, they will negotiate a better BRL/KES rate, handle the paperwork, and guide you over the phone.

Regency FX converts BRL to KES with an exchange-rate markup of around 0.27%.

I'd suggest , since the rate gets better the more you send.

For receiving cash in Portugal

Cash pickup

If your recipient in Kenya needs cash, you can do it with MoneyGram.

Sending R$40,000 will get you KSh990,180 after the fees with MoneyGram.

You recipient will collect cash at the nearest MoneyGram branch in Kenya.

Holding AUD and other currencies

Multi-currency accounts

Revolut lets you hold, convert, and spend BRL and KES from one account.

Swapping R$40,000 with Revolut will get you 993,574.26 KES after all fees.

You can then spend it in Kenya or Brazil and receive KES payments.

For freelancers & businesses

Global accounts

Global accounts like Airwallex, Wise Business, and Payoneer help with international KES payments, invoicing, receiving payments, and more.

These are great for Brazilian businesses and freelancers, but not personal transfers.

Ways to fund BRL and receive KES in Kenya

With Regency FX, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending R$40,000 gives your recipient 997,974.25 KES.

For paying for your transfer, you have bank transfer, debit card, and pix.

You can fund the transfer with Pix

You can use Pix as a funding method, but it can’t send BRL to Kenya directly.

Scan the company's QR code or copy its Pix key, then approve R$40,000 in your Brazilian banking app.

For withdrawals in Kenya, they can get it as bank deposit, mobile money, cash pickup, and mobile wallet.

IOF can apply when you convert and send BRL abroad, so double check the tax shown before you send.

Consider this when sending BRL to Portugal

Brazilian transfer quotes should show the tax, fee and exchange rate. The easiest way to compare them is through the VET, then check whether the payment is a transfer of your own money or a gift.

Compare BRL/EUR transfer options

For a R$40,000 payment to Kenya, I suggest starting with these:

Cheapest:

Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit in Kenya. Your recipient gets 997,974.25 KES, which is 0.44% more than the next best option.

Fastest:

Revolut, paid by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. It delivers 993,574.26 KES in within minutes.

Pix can fund but not send

Pix can be used to deposit BRL from your bank to the transfer company's Brazilian account, but it cannot send money directly to Kenya.

The company then switches to local rails or uses an internal network of accounts to move BRL to Kenya.

A gift can have a separate state tax

Moving your own money and making a gift are not treated the same.

A gift may fall under ITCMD, which is set and collected by the relevant Brazilian state.

The rate, exemption and filing process depend on the state and the facts of the gift.

Check this before sending a large amount to family, particularly when the sender, recipient or estate has links to different states.

Use a company authorised for câmbio

The Banco Central do Brasil says an authorised institution or its correspondent should explain the required documents and provide the VET.

If in doubt, check the institution's legal name with the Banco Central before sending.

Reclame Aqui can show service problems, but it does not replace the regulatory check.
