Every year, thousands of Kenyans send money to friends and family abroad, ensuring that loved ones can access education, healthcare, and essential upkeep across continents. But despite these noble intentions, the process can be overwhelming with deterrent charges, slow delivery time, and unreliable service providers.
Take Mary, a mother based in Nairobi. She regularly sends money to her son studying in Canada. In the past, this meant some long queues at remittance centres and paying exorbitant fees. On top of that, delays in fund transfers sometimes meant her son struggled to settle tuition fees or daily upkeep on time.
Then there is Tom, a guardian in Eldoret. He supports his cousin who is receiving medical treatment in India. In the past, high charges and unreliable transfer systems left him worried about whether his cousin’s hospital bills would be cleared on time.
Stories like Mary’s and Tom’s are familiar to many Kenyans who are committed to supporting their loved ones abroad.
