Pick a company

Start with the cheapest option, which is PayPal App (P2P Transfer). It will get you the most PHP on a KES 33,000 transfer.

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

Fund your 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

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