Pick a company

If you're sending a one-off transfer, then Wise is the best option.

Wise was the cheapest on 30 of the 30 days it quoted ₺10,500 transfers to Kenya.

For recurring transfers, I'd suggest using an app or a multi-currency account with Wise.

How much you send will affect the best option for you right now.

Fund your transfer

Fund your money transfer account with bank transfer.

Verify and send

When signing up you'll need to verify your account.

You'll need your TC Kimlik, or a passport and tax number if you're a foreign resident.

TRY/KES Exchange Rate History

Is today a good time to send money from Turkey to Kenya?

The cheapest way to send TRY to KES can change every day, or stay with the same company all month.

We've compared the mid-market rate with the cheapest option each day (today it's Wise), across 30 days of comparisons for 10,500 TRY transfers to Kenya.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send ₺10,500, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what ₺10,500 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 TRY 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 Turkey.

Right now, Wise pays 27,022 KES on 10,500 TRY, which is 843.05 KES less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 27,389 KES.

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

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 60 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 2 amounts over the past month.

WiseAppeared in 60 comparisons
Cheapest every time
MoneyGram AgentAppeared in 29 comparisons
Never the cheapest

Based on 60 comparisons across 2 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 Wise is the cheapest and gets you the most KES, and it was also the cheapest in 100% of the 60 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

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

Ways to send money from Turkey to Kenya

2 companies send TRY to Kenya.

Cheapest way to send TRY

Online and app transfers

Money transfer specialists like Wise are the cheapest way to send money to Kenya from Turkey.

The fees are lower than banks, it takes 5 mins to get started, your recipient will get more KES, and repeat transfers are very simple.

For example, Wise charges ₺332.57 to send 10,500 TRY, and will get your recipient 27,022 KES after a -0.15% exchange-rate markup and ₺332.57 fee.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 30 of the 30 days it quoted.

Wallets like Papara can work for small and one-off transfers, but usually are more expensive.

Holding euros in a döviz account

Multi-currency accounts

A multi-currency account (also known as döviz account) lets you hold KES alongside TRY.

It is most useful if you get paid in KES, travel to Kenya often, or spend in KES.

That's because you get local details for both currencies and swapping between them is simple and cheap.

Doing business abroad

Global accounts

Global accounts like Payoneer or Veem help Turkish businesses pay suppliers in Kenya and receive money from foreign clients.

Ways to fund TRY and receive KES in Kenya

With Wise, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending 10,500 TRY gives your recipient 27,022 KES.

You can send TRY using bank transfer.

Pay from your Turkish bank account

FAST, havale or EFT can be used to fund your money transfer account when sending money to Kenya.

In Kenya, they can get KES by bank deposit.

The simplest way to receive money is to use a bank or card deposit.

Enter the recipient's IBAN, their name, card details if sending to a card, and that's all.

Kenyan Shilling will arrive directly into their bank account in Kenya.

What to consider before sending TRY to Kenya

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

Compare TRY/KES transfer options

These are the best options for sending TRY 10,500 to Kenya.

Cheapest way to send money to Kenya

The cheapest option is Wise, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 27,022 KES, which is 6.94% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Kenya

The fastest option is Wise. Pay by bank transfer and use bank deposit in Kenya. Your recipient gets 27,022 KES, with the money arriving in within minutes.

FAST and EFT are domestic

FAST, EFT and havale move TRY between accounts in Turkey.

They can be used to fund a transfer to Kenya, but from there money transfer services switch to internal network of accounts or other transfer rails.

Large transfers & limits in Turkey

There is no single universal personal-transfer limit, but your bank or transfer company can ask where the money came from and why it is leaving Turkey.

For property proceeds, tuition or moving savings, keep the sale document, invoice or recent statement ready.

Large gifts can also fall under Turkey's inheritance and gift tax rules, so check the tax position before sending a lump sum to Kenya.

How we analyse the market

Plenty of well-known services can't be funded in lira, so they don't appear here. What's left is 2 companies that can actually send TRY to Kenya.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 60 comparisons across 2 amounts.
