Send money to Kenya from Canada
Send money to Kenya from Canada with live CAD-to-KES rates, upfront fees, ATMoney, and bank deposit options. Transfer money to Kenya online, compare RemitBee with traditional wire transfers, and review the final Kenyan shilling amount before you confirm.
How to send money from Canada to Kenya
Create your RemitBee account in minutes, add your basic details, and get ready to transfer money to Kenya from Canada without visiting a bank branch or arranging a traditional wire transfer.
Choose how your recipient will receive the money in Kenya. For ATMoney, enter the registered mobile number. For bank deposit, add the recipient’s legal name, bank name, account number, and any BIC/SWIFT details if requested.
Submit the required details to verify your account and protect your transfer. Your sending limit depends on your verification level, transfer amount, payment method, and any additional checks required before your money transfer to Kenya is processed.
Pay by Debit Card, Interac e-Transfer, Bill Payment, EFT, or RemitBee CAD Balance. Choose faster funding when timing matters, or bank-funded methods when you want lower fees on planned Canada-to-Kenya transfers.
Review the CAD amount, CAD to KES exchange rate, transfer fee, receiving method, recipient details, and final Kenyan shilling amount. Confirm only when everything matches what your recipient needs to receive the money.
Follow your transfer from Canada to Kenya with status updates in your RemitBee account. You can see when payment is received, when the transfer is processing, and when the funds are delivered.

How long does it take to send money to Kenya
Here’s how fast each option funds your transfer from Canada to Kenya. The right choice depends on whether you want speed, lower fees, or a payment method that works well for regular family support.
Use your debit card when your transfer needs to start right away. It is the fastest funding method, but it usually costs more than e-Transfer, EFT, or Bill Payment.
Send RemitBee an Interac e-Transfer from your Canadian banking app. Once received and applied, it can fund your Kenya transfer without waiting for a traditional bank wire.
Pay RemitBee through your online banking bill payment section or at your local bank. This works well for planned transfers and amounts over $500 CAD.
Move funds directly from your Canadian bank account to RemitBee. EFT is useful for planned or repeat money transfers to Kenya when you do not need instant funding.
