Very, FX makes about 85% of revenue compared to commissions collected from experience since it is split amongst all the handlers. Just look at the rates and compare, and also consider that they convert large amounts at once. Even paypal is going into it with that "Get the exact amount you will be charged in local currency" instead of "bill you at seller's currency"

Hi Alvin/Riyaz,

Have any of you used the sendwave.com service? I'm quite curious about how sustainable their no fee/fx only model is...

Try these apps



They're ideally for remittance from the US - but I believe you can add credit cards.

Hi Alvin

I would see if the card is able to purchase bitcoins in the US on either coinbase.com circle.com or virwox.com and then cash them out instantly to mpesa on BitPesa.co

Total fee should be 4-5%

You can reach out to me off-list should you find any issue.

Regards,

John
