Living in the United States but want to send money back to friends and loved ones in Kenya? Find out why so many customers have already put their trust in Remitly’s quick and secure money transfer service to send money back home from the United States to Kenya.
 
The process of starting an international money transfer from the United States to Kenya online begins when you sign up to Remitly – either through our mobile app or our website. Then, just let us know how much you’d like to send and we will then provide you with what our current exchange rate is and how much your friend or relative will receive in Kenyan Shillings.
 
We will need some basic details for your recipient, such as their name, address, and phone number, and how you would like them to be kept informed of the transfer. After this, you will need to submit your payment information. You can pay for your transfer with a debit card or credit card, or a prepaid card when sending from the U.S, European Union, U.K, Canada, or Australia. There may be other payment methods for sending money to Kenya from the United States, subject to availability.
