How to Send Money from Ghana to Kenya

When you think of sending money from Ghana to Kenya the first thing that comes to your mind are traditional money transfer services like Western Union and MoneyGram. Although they could be an option to consider, they come with their flaws. 

Using those money transfer services comes with high fees and long processing times. That means that the money you transfer will eventually be less than what you intended it to be. 

What if I told you that there’s a way you can send money from Ghana to Kenya which is easy, fast, and cheaper than traditional money transfer services?

In this article, you will learn how to easily send money from Ghana to Kenya with the Bitnob app and why you should consider it the cheapest and fastest way to send and receive money across African countries.

Why use Bitnob to send money from Ghana to Kenya

With the Bitnob app, you can easily send money to 8 African countries. This is exciting because Bitnob opens a lot of opportunities for Africans. 

Direct settlement to the recipient’s MPesa wallet

Unlike other traditional transfer services, the transfer cannot be settled in the recipient’s MPesa. Instead, the recipient can only have access to the money sent when they go to the bank in person.

However, when you use the Bitnob app to send money from Ghana to Kenya, the transfer is settled in the recipient’s MPesa wallet. This makes it convenient for the recipient.  

Less fees

Transfers made to Africa are at a much higher cost than in Western countries. The world’s average cost of remittance transactions is 7%, while remittances made to African countries are at 9% for a $200 transaction.   

When you send money from Ghana to Kenya using the Bitnob app you only pay 1% as transaction fees. This is a lot cheaper than the prevailing average cost of remittance transactions.  

Fast transactions

With traditional transfer services transfers usually take an average of 2-4 days before it gets to the recipient’s country. In addition to this, recipients oftentimes have to wait in long queues or go through cumbersome processes before having access to their money.

This does not happen with the Bitnob app. When you send money from Ghana to Kenya using the app, the recipient receives the money within a few minutes.
