transferring to mobile wallets

Hello

Is it possible to transfer GBP from the UK to an M-Pesa account in KES in Kenya? If not, do you any plans to start doing so?

Also do you transfer to mobile wallets anywhere?

Thank you!

Hi there.

International transfers to bank accounts can be transacted in the following currencies: EUR, GBP, USD, AUD, CAD, CZK, DKK, HKD, HUF, ILS, MXN, NZD, NOK, PLN, RON, SGD, ZAR, SEK, CHF, THB, TRY, AED, BGN, QAR, SAR

Please note, if you transfer money to a bank account which holds a different currency (for example, if you transfer CAD to an account which holds GBP), a conversion fee will be applied. We will be adding more currencies very soon!

We currently do not support transfers to the following countries:

AFG, AGO, BIH, BDI, BTN, BVT, BLR, COD, CAF, COG, CIV, COK, CHN, CUB, DZA, EGY, ERI, FSM, GHA, GIN, GUM, GNB, GUY, HTI, IRQ, IRN, KGZ, KHM, PRK, KWT, KAZ, LAO, LBN, LBR, LBY, MDA, MNE, MHL, MMR, MNG, MNP, NAM, NGA, NIC, PAN, PNG, PAK, PRI, PLW, SRB, RUS, SDN, SLE, SOM, SSD, SYR, TJK, TLS, TKM, TUN, UGA, UZB, VEN, YEM, ZWE

Banking penetration is still very low in Africa, while “Mobile Money” is booming. Would it be possible to have a functionality to transfer money to Mobile Wallets as WorldRemit or MFS Africa does?

It’s not clear can one transfer from UK account GBP to an account in Kenya KES?
Any support much appreciated. Thx! L

Yes, it would be nice to know if there are any plans to do so… It wouldn’t be a difficult implementation :slight_smile:
