Airtel money transfer works well for sending money within Kenya, but it’s not as good for sending money overseas. To send money overseas, use the Airtel app; you just need to select the destination, enter the recipient’s information (who gets the money, how much, and your PIN), and then follow the easy steps.
Exchange rates are subject to vary when handling overseas transfers. This may result in higher sending or lower receiving costs. When money enters the nations where Airtel Money operates, it performs better. However, it’s difficult to defeat businesses like WorldRemit. They provide a simple, affordable, and fee-free way for anyone to send money to Kenya. They also frequently cost 46% less than banks, which means you save money1.
Moreover, WorldRemit verifies your identification quickly—typically in 4 minutes1. They provide numerous options for receiving money and service more than 8 million users. They ensure that your money is secure when it travels across borders because they are governed by the Financial Conduct Authority of the UK1.
In what way may I use the Airtel money?
You must have created an Airtel Money account. After that, all you have to do is wait to get your foreign money.
Note: There are transaction limits for Airtel Money.
What fees will I incur while receiving money from overseas?
Receiving Airtel Money with WorldRemit is free of cost. When you use the money to make withdrawals, send money, pay bills, or use Lipa na Airtel Money, all standard Airtel Money fees are applicable.
