I think Coop bank is not the best bank to use for such things. They also cannot be able to show you the refence id for transcations that moneybookers will do in your account for you to be able to verify your account. I really went through a big hustle to get it working with coop just to discover it was so easy to do with KCB. KCB shows all the reference ids while coop says it is NOT possib;e to get the information. So be ready for some real hustle.

PayPal wakae2009/12/8 Steve Obbayi <steve@sobbayi.com>"External Regulations" is simply USA regulations. Moneybookers is British and they dont have the ridiculous regulations the US have. Do you know USA is trying to go for people with Swiss Bank accounts?
Did you know Sun/Java has started a model like the Apple or Ovi stores and they call it the Java Store. It is only open to USA developers to sell their Apps. Developers from a few other countries are allowed to use the store but can't sell Apps to USA customers but can only give free Apps for download. I tried to apply for them to consider Kenya but they need a multitude of Kenyan developers to apply personally so they can get the necessary government policy blah blah integrated into their system.
check out the store here

What external regulations? Does those regulations apply to other such service providers? Im saying this because i have been using moneybookers to receive money into my account without a glitch and still does.

I don't know about Paypal and Kenyan Bank accounts coz I talked to some officials a couple of weeks ago specifically on this issue and they said nothing has changed as of now. The problems they have with kenyan Banks are because they have to follow "external regulations" that prevent them from sending money to Kenya. So it's Paypal that is deliberately doing it.
