Why choose First Community Bank?
In 2007, First Community Bank (FCB) was established by private Muslim investors from Kuwait, Kenya, and Tanzania to adhere to Islamic Shari'ah law. In the same year, the bank obtained a Kenyan commercial banking license and officially commenced its operations in June 2008. Notably, FCB holds the distinction of being the first fully-fledged bank based in Kenya that operates in accordance with Shari'ah principles. Since the inception of First Community Bank, other Sharia-compliant institutions such as Gulf African Bank (GAB), Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB), and several Islamic windows under conventional banks have also obtained commercial licenses from the Central Bank of Kenya.

I've been using Remitbee for a while now and it's been a game-changer. Being able to transfer money to my family to Chase bank account is a blessing. Plus, the service is so easy to use, and the support team is great.

Transferred funds to Kenya on Monday, and they arrived at my mother's in 5 minutes. No hassle and is way better than the banks as it is much faster less/no fees, and has better conversion rates. That is my go-to money transfers going forward.... ditch the banks
