How to send money from Kenya to Nigeria

Pick a company

Start with the cheapest option, which is Grey. It will get you the most NGN on a KES 32,400 transfer.

This heavily depends on how much you send, so I suggest to get the best KES/NGN rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 1 ways to pay, including bank transfer.

Paying from your M-Pesa balance is quickest way to fund the transfer (but you'll need to top it up with cash first).

Verify and send

You'll need your ID and your KRA PIN to register.

Nobody legitimate will ask for your PIN to reverse a transfer or verify anything, so treat that as the end of the conversation.

A legitimate company should also display its CBK licence or authorisation at its premises.
