How to send money from Kenya to Tanzania

Pick a company

Start with the cheapest option, which is Regency FX. It will get you the most TZS on a KES 1,000,000 transfer.

Regency FX was the cheapest on 30 of the 30 days it quoted KSh1,000,000 transfers to Tanzania.

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

Fund your transfer

You have 1 ways to pay, including bank transfer.

Paying from your M-Pesa balance is the 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.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send Ksh 1,000,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what Ksh 1,000,000 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 TZS per KES than the mid-market rate can offer.

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

No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of TZS on every transfer from Kenya.

Right now, Regency FX pays 20,305,101.8 TZS on 1,000,000 KES, which is 54,972.2 TZS less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 20,485,505.39 TZS.

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

Today Regency FX is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.
