Exchange rateFeeRecipient getsDifference

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send €7,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what €7,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.

The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.

When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more KES per EUR than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 5 of the last 30 days.

Right now, Wise pays 999,914 KES on 7,000 EUR, which is 11,393.73 KES less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 1,029,350 KES.

If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Kenya.

We've tracked 94 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 5 amounts over the past month.

  1. TapTap SendAppeared in 89 comparisons

    Cheapest in 37% of them

  2. MoneyGramAppeared in 89 comparisons

    Cheapest in 4% of them

  3. Key CurrencyAppeared in 27 comparisons

    Cheapest in 59% of them

Based on 94 comparisons across 5 amounts over the last 30 days.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today Wise is the cheapest and gets you the most KES, but it was the cheapest in only 0% of the 92 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

Revolut (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 1% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Kenya.

If it's a one-off transfer, go with Wise, since it's the cheapest right now.

What to consider before sending EUR to Kenya

From France, the important split is whether the money stays in euros or changes currency. Cash funding and non-bank protection work differently too.

Compare the EUR/KES options

For a €7,000 transfer to Kenya, these are the best ways to start with:

Cheapest way to send money to Kenya

The cheapest option is Wise, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 999,914 KES, which is 0.51% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Kenya

The fastest option is Revolut. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 994,781.09 KES in within minutes.

France caps cash payments

If you are a tax resident in France, you can pay up to €1,000 in cash to a transfer company.

This limits the cash payment, rather than the amount you can send abroad.

For a larger transfer, pay by bank transfer or card.

Expect a justificatif on a large transfer

French banks and transfer companies can ask for a justificatif (proof) showing where the money came from and why it is being sent.

For property, tuition or moving savings abroad, keep the sale document, invoice or recent bank statement ready.

Your bank may also have a lower daily virement limit, which you can ask it to raise before the payment is due.

FGDR deposit guarantee

The FGDR deposit guarantee covers eligible bank deposits up to €100,000 per customer and bank.

Payment and e-money institutions are not members of the FGDR, although they must protect customer funds through safeguarding arrangements (keeping your funds separate to theirs).

If in doubt, check REGAFI to see whether a bank, payment institution or e-money institution is authorised to operate in France.

How we analyse the market

We compare fees, rates and the ways money can be paid in and received, and each company also goes through our review.
