Sending Money to Kenya (KES) Using Cryptocurrencies – Fast, Secure & Low-Cost

In today’s fast-paced world, the need to send money across borders has become more urgent than ever. For many, Kenya is a key destination for money transfers, whether to support families, manage businesses, or cover personal expenses. However, traditional methods of sending money – such as bank transfers and conventional money transfer services – are often slow, expensive, and sometimes unreliable. Transactions can take days, fees can accumulate, and transparency may be limited, leaving both the sender and recipient in uncertainty.

This is where cryptocurrencies emerge as a modern and efficient alternative. They provide an innovative solution that bypasses the limitations of traditional financial systems, enabling money transfers to Kenya quickly, securely, and at a lower cost. TOWB, a company specializing in smart financial transfer solutions, offers this alternative in a practical, safe, and user-friendly way. In this blog, we will explore how cryptocurrencies can revolutionize the way money is sent to Kenya, focusing on the benefits, process, potential challenges, and TOWB’s role in facilitating all of this.

Why Send Money to Kenya (KES) Using Cryptocurrencies?

The popularity of using cryptocurrencies for financial transfers is rapidly growing, especially in emerging economies like Kenya. There are several key reasons why cryptocurrencies are an attractive option for sending money to Kenya:

Speed and Efficiency

Unlike bank transfers that may take days to complete, cryptocurrency transfers can be sent and received within minutes, or even seconds in some cases. This means funds reach recipients in Kenya quickly, providing great convenience in emergencies or when funds are urgently needed. This is precisely what the TOWB platform offers through transfers supported by fast and modern blockchain networks.
 

Low Fees

Banks and traditional money transfer services charge high fees on international transfers, in addition to exchange rate margins. In contrast, cryptocurrency transaction fees are generally much lower, meaning more of the sent money reaches the final recipient. This is a major advantage for senders who want to maximize the value of their funds, and it is a principle that TOWB follows in designing its services: transparency and low cost.

Security and Transparency

Cryptocurrencies rely on blockchain technology, a distributed and immutable ledger that records all transactions. This provides a high level of security and transparency, as every transaction can be publicly tracked and verified without revealing personal identities. This reduces the risk of fraud and ensures that funds reach their intended destination. TOWB adds an extra layer of protection through integration with secure custody providers and two-factor authentication (2FA) to safeguard user accounts.

Financial Inclusion

In many regions, including parts of Kenya, many individuals do not have access to traditional banking services. Cryptocurrencies offer an inclusive alternative, as anyone with a smartphone and internet connection can access financial services. This contributes to financial empowerment and opens new opportunities for economic growth.

Adoption of Cryptocurrencies and the M-Pesa System in Kenya

Kenya is witnessing increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies and is considered one of the leading African countries in this field. This is partly due to the strong mobile money infrastructure, particularly the M-Pesa system, which has become an integral part of daily life for Kenyans. Here, TOWB offers a significant advantage by enabling transfers from cryptocurrencies directly to M-Pesa accounts, making the entire process smooth, direct, and barrier-free.

How Cryptocurrency Transfers to Kenya Work with TOWB

At TOWB, you do not need technical knowledge or a crypto wallet to send money to Kenya. We handle all the complex aspects on your behalf, making the process simple and seamless.

Here’s how the process works step by step:

1. Create a Transfer Request via TOWB
   The process starts by creating a transfer request on the TOWB platform – either via the website or app. You enter the amount you want to send and the recipient’s details (such as M-Pesa number or bank account in Kenya).

2. Pay with USDT or Other Supported Methods
   If you choose to pay using USDT (Tether), you transfer the cryptocurrency to TOWB’s dedicated wallet.
   If you use another payment method, TOWB processes the request in the appropriate way.
   Note: You do not need to send USDT to the recipient. TOWB receives the cryptocurrency from you and converts it internally to the local currency.

3. Instant Conversion to Kenyan Shilling (KES)
   Once TOWB receives the amount, it is immediately converted to Kenyan Shillings (KES) using competitive and real-time exchange rates, without any manual intervention by the recipient.

4. Withdrawal to M-Pesa or Bank Account
   After converting to KES, TOWB sends the amount directly to the recipient’s M-Pesa account or local bank account in Kenya. This process usually takes just a few minutes.

Outcome:

• No need for the recipient to have a crypto wallet

• No need to interact with the blockchain

• No manual currency conversion required

All the recipient receives is the final amount in Kenyan Shillings – fast and secure.
