@John you finally notice that is the game in equity broad day light theft they did it to me form Moneybookers to equity.@Okech you are mistaken, I understand that banks show exchange rates that differ on implementation, Yes. However, some banks when you go at the exchange counter (DTB and KCB in my experience ) and ask the rate they will tell the current figure and warn you that this figure applies today so if you want to transact go ahead, simple and fair. In Equity things are different what you are told at exchange counter before transacting is different from what you get. When I launched a complain with Foreign exchange and gave him my statement, he called some guy somewhere and from his face and response I could tell something was fishy. he finally told me and I quote "Boss, hawa watu sijui how they work me the figure I gave you is what I was sent to operate for the day, may be u see the manager". I simply stopped any international exchange using moneybookers direct to my equity account.

I have moved cash to my shillings account at 80/- when the rate hit 90/-, and on the same day, negotiated 87.5 with the same bank../Ok3ch

I have actually used this service once and I can tell you the main problem with it is the exchange rate that you will get. It's just plain ridiculous, when I did it I think the the USD to KES rate was 88, and the transfer was done at 82. Did the math and I lost around 6% of the money.Never used it again, 6% is just plain daylight robbery. Read the fine print when using it.On 18 January 2014 00:53, Brian Ngure <brian@pixie.co.ke> wrote:
