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

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.
For a R$40,000 payment to Kenya, I suggest starting with these:
Cheapest:
Wise, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit in Kenya. Your recipient gets 967,875 KES, which is -4.53% more than the next best option.
Fastest:
Revolut, paid by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. It delivers 1,006,796.16 KES in within minutes.
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.
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.
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.
The exchange rate affects the KES amount before fees and tax are added. Tracking the recent BRL/KES range makes company quotes easier to compare.
Mid-market rate:1 BRL = 25.347034 KES
