How TOWB Helped a UK Company Pay Suppliers in Kenya

In the fast-paced world of global business, time is money—and when it comes to international transfers, delays can mean missed opportunities, strained relationships, and unnecessary costs. This case study explores how a UK-based company transformed its payment process to Kenyan suppliers thanks to its partnership with Towb, the financial platform built for speed, simplicity, and security.

Background: A Familiar Struggle in Global Business

A UK-based company faced a common challenge: paying its Kenyan suppliers efficiently. The company relied on a network of suppliers in Kenya, but using traditional banking systems like SWIFT resulted in delays of up to three days—or sometimes even longer. These delays disrupted operations, created uncertainty among suppliers, and added layers of complexity to a process that should have been simple.

Beyond slow transfers, the company also faced:

• High Transfer fees and unfavorable exchange rates, reducing the value of each payment.

• Complicated, tedious paperwork and email coordination.

• A lack of transparency on payment status.

The company needed a better solution—one that matched the pace of modern business.

The Challenge: When Slow Transfers Become an Operational Cost

The problem was not just an inconvenience—it directly impacted trust, business continuity, and operational efficiency.

• Payment delays left suppliers waiting, sometimes unable to begin work or ship goods.

• Administrative complexities drained time and resources from the team.

• Unpredictable exchange rates and high fees made budgeting and cost estimation difficult.

For a company with regular, time-sensitive payments to multiple partners, the situation was unsustainable.

The Solution: Towb’s Instant Cross-Border Payments

Enter Towb—the financial platform designed to make international payments faster, cheaper, and simpler. Towb combines modern financial infrastructure with deep integration into local systems in Kenya, delivering immediate, clear results.

1. Instant Transfers to Major Banks and Mobile Wallets in Kenya

Towb connects directly to Kenya’s payment networks, enabling instant transfers to many local banks and platforms like M-PESA. Unlike SWIFT transfers that are delayed by intermediary banks, payments via Towb arrive within minutes.

2. A Simple, Seamless Business Dashboard

The company easily accessed Towb’s dashboard to send payments using USDT, benefiting from:

• Real-time Transfer tracking

• Instant notifications for both parties

• A clear, easy-to-use interface

No more emails or paperwork—just a few clicks and the payment is sent.

3. Competitive Exchange Rates and Low Fees

Towb’s pricing model is designed for businesses. Unlike banks that hide fees in exchange rates and charge high transaction fees:

• Towb offers transparent, competitive exchange rates.

• Low or flat fees.

• The ability to pay multiple suppliers at once.

This allowed the company to send funds without worrying about hidden costs or losing value.

4. Complete Security and Regulatory Compliance

Every Towb transaction is fully compliant with UK and Kenyan financial regulations, including:

• Advanced end-to-end encryption.

• Smart fraud detection systems.

This gave the company and its suppliers complete peace of mind.

The Results: Minutes Instead of Days

The transformation was immediate and tangible:

• Transfer times dropped from 2–3 business days to just minutes.

• Supplier satisfaction improved, allowing them to receive funds and begin orders promptly.

• Internal operational efficiency increased as the team was freed from the burden of managing slow international payments.

Most importantly, the company strengthened its relationships with Kenyan partners—turning payments into a trust-building tool rather than a bottleneck.

Why instant cross-border payments Matter

In today’s global economy, payment speed is not just a convenience—it’s a competitive advantage. It enables businesses to:

• Respond faster to market needs.

• Avoid operational delays.

• Build stronger supplier relationships.

As one team member shared:

“The days of waiting hours or days are over. Now, funds arrive instantly, no matter which Kenyan bank we send to.”

How Towb Stands Out

While other platforms offer instant or near-instant transfers from the UK to Kenya, Towb’s focus on businesses sets it apart:

• Tools designed specifically for paying multiple suppliers.

• Deep integration with Kenya’s financial system.

• A user experience built to save time and reduce friction.

Towb is not just a Transfer service—it’s a global business payment platform.
