Exchange rateFeeRecipient getsDifference

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send ₦360,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what ₦360,000 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 KES per NGN 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 KES on every transfer from Nigeria.

Right now, Africhange pays 32,727.27 KES on 360,000 NGN, which is 2,015.97 KES less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout is the highest in the past month.

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Kenya.

We've tracked 236 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 8 amounts over the past month.

  1. AfrichangeAppeared in 185 comparisons

    Cheapest every time

  2. GreyAppeared in 116 comparisons

    Cheapest in 23% of them

  3. AfriexAppeared in 116 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

Based on 236 comparisons across 8 amounts over the last 30 days.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today Africhange is the cheapest and gets you the most KES, and it was also the cheapest in 100% of the 185 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Kenya.

Things to know before sending NGN to Kenya

Sending money out of Nigeria is an access-to-FX problem first. The cheapest quote only matters if the company can legally accept NGN from a Nigerian resident.

Compare the available NGN/KES options

There are 7 companies available for a ₦360,000 transfer to Kenya, so the shortlist is smaller than it is for money coming into Nigeria.

Cheapest way to send money to Kenya

The cheapest option is Africhange, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 32,727.27 KES, which is 2.33% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Kenya

The fastest option is Africhange. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 32,727.27 KES in minutes.

NIP stops at the Nigerian border

NIP can move NGN from your bank to the transfer company within Nigeria, but it does not send the money to Kenya.

The company still needs an approved cross-border route for the conversion and payout.

For a bank wire, money already held in a domiciliary account is generally easier to document than foreign currency bought informally and deposited as cash.

Check the CBN licence

Use the CBN's licensed institution records and confirm that the service is authorised for money transfers.

Do not send naira to a personal account or an unknown USDT seller because the quoted rate is better.

If the transfer fails, there may be no real way to recover it.

How we analyse the market

Only companies licensed to send money out of Nigeria make this table, which rules out most of the apps you'll see advertised.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 236 comparisons across 8 amounts.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for NGN/KES transfers. This is how we pick them:

  • Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.

  • Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.

We track 7 of them on NGN to KES, comparing rates, fees and how the money is paid in and collected. Each goes through our review first.

Rates here move daily, so ours refresh in real time on live searches. More on who we are, why you can trust us and getting started.
