How to send money from Mexico to Kenya

Pick a company

Start with the cheapest option, which is Wise. It will get you the most KES on a MXN 100,000 transfer.

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

Fund your transfer

You can fund the transfer using bank transfer.

A SPEI transfer to their CLABE is instant and free, and is the most common way to fund the transfer.

Without a bank account, you can pay cash at a counter instead for a little more.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need an ID, and some companies only sign up citizens and residents with an INE.

Wise is the best multi-currency account for holding and spending KES and MXN.

You can hold 2 balances in one account, and convert whenever the rate is good.

Usually it's cheap too.

For example, Wise will convert 100,000 MXN to KES at 0.12% markup with 1493.52 MXN fee.

Once you have the balance in KES, there are no additional fees for using it (only local ones in Kenya like ATM fees).

Global accounts are for Mexican businesses doing business in Kenya (or other countries).

Companies like Wise Business or Payoneer handle international payments, salaries, invoices, and multi-currency invoicing.

Before sending MXN to Kenya, check these points

Here are a few things to know about money transfers from Mexico to Kenya.

Compare the MXN/KES options

Cheapest

Fastest

SPEI is domestic only

SPEI moves MXN between participating accounts in Mexico.

It can fund the transfer company through its CLABE, but the company or bank handles the currency conversion and international payment over local rails or international network.

Make sure you can send MXN

Some services only accept Mexican citizens and permanent residents but ask for an INE, CURP, RFC or proof of address during registration.

A large or unusual transfer may also need additional documents.

IPAB protection

IPAB protection applies to eligible bank deposits, it does not automatically cover a balance held with a fintech or money transfer company, or money that has already left a Mexican bank.

If you’re in doubt about a company, check it in CONDUSEF's SIPRES.

The register confirms whether a Mexican financial institution exists and is authorised, but it does not approve every product the company offers.
