Choose your payment method

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.

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.

Cheapest way to send money to Kenya

The cheapest way to send money to Kenya is the option that delivers the most KES after the exchange rate, transfer fee, payment method, and receiving route are all included. A low fee can still cost more if the CAD-to-KES rate is weaker.
  • $2.99 flat fee under $500 CAD
  • Debit Card and Visa debit can be faster
  • Card-funded transfers usually cost more
  • Interac e-Transfer, EFT, and Bill Payment qualify
  • $0 service fee on eligible transfers over $500 CAD

    Whether you compare RemitBee with Wise, WorldRemit, Western Union, Remitly, or a bank wire, focus on the final Kenyan shilling amount your recipient receives, not only the headline fee.

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.

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.

Bill Payment

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.

1-2 Business day
EFT

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.

Frictionless transfers
