Thanks @tony but that I&M card seems to accrue charges every time you even glance at it. I have the I&M mpesa card and the exchange rate is consistently 5-7sh above market rates.They do have some good customer care though. All in all it's probably time to head to CFC.

CFC is not so bad when it comes to their rates.

I have been buying so much, trust me, and while I see the rate of exchange via www.xe.xom, CFC exceeds it by only a few cents - less than a shilling!

If the conversion losses are of major concern, I'd recommend the I&M Multi-currency pre-paid card.<https://www.imbank.com/cards/multicurrency-prepaid-card/> Loading fees apply. They will be rolling out a Chip-n-PIN version in a month or so.
