Transfer details

On a 36,000,000 IDR transfer, Regency FX delivers the most KES.
This will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest running a live search to get the best IDR/KES rate.
You can fund the transfer using bank transfer.
With money transfer companies, you're given a virtual account number to pay into, and in many cases (depending on the company) you can use BI-FAST to fund it.
It costs about Rp2,500 and caps at Rp250 million.
First time round you'll likely need your KTP and a selfie with it to verify your account.
Larger transfers need documents showing what the money is for (such as tuition letter or similar).
2 companies send money from Indonesia to Kenya, using online, app, multi-currency account, global account, and broker and other options.
One-off and everyday transfers
Wise charges 472116 IDR to send Rp36,000,000 and your recipient gets 256,809 KES in within minutes.
Most Indonesia’s outbound transfer services are local and licensed by Bank Indonesia.
Avoid unregulated money transfer companies, even if the exhcnage rate looks better.
Make sure to check for the words “berizin dan diawasi Bank Indonesia” on providers website or app before sending.
Saving for future payments
A valas account (a.k.a a multi-currency account) lets you convert IDR to KES and hold it before spending abroad, travelling, or paying other bills in Kenya.
This works well if you need KES regularly, travel to Kenya, or get paid in from there.
Paying suppliers
Global accounts help Indonesian businesses hold foreign currency and make regular payments to suppliers in Kenya.
Wise Business and Payoneer handle recurring business transfers, but a bank’s solusi valas desk may be more useful when the payment needs invoices or other supporting documents.
With Regency FX, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending Rp36,000,000 gives your recipient 259,828.07 KES.
You can fund the IDR side through bank transfer.
Pay from Indonesian bank account
A money transfer comapny will give you bank details for top-up, send money to it from your Indonesian bank.
BI-FAST can be used to fund the transfer inside Indonesia (some companies support it), but the company will then use an internal network to then send it to Kenya.
Your recipient can receive KES by bank deposit.

For an Rp36,000,000 transfer to Kenya, start with the final option that gets you the most KES.
Cheapest way to send money to Kenya
The cheapest option is Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 259,828.07 KES, which is 1.16% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Kenya
Wise delivers 256,809 KES in within minutes when you pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit.
BI-FAST can be used to deposit IDR to the transfer company's local account, but it does not send KES to a person in Kenya.
QRIS is also a payment system rather than an international person-to-person transfer.
Banks must record the purpose of an outgoing foreign-currency transfer and can ask for supporting documents such as invoices, agreements, etc.
Bank Indonesia's current foreign-exchange rules include documentation requirements once relevant thresholds are crossed.
Those thresholds and exemptions can change, so ask the bank what it needs before making a large transfer to Kenya.
The number of KES received depends on the rate used to convert your IDR. Compare today's quote with the recent market range before paying.
Mid-market rate:1 IDR = 0.007237 KES
Every company here holds a Bank Indonesia transfer licence, the thing worth checking before you trust anyone with your money.
