Morning Skunks,

I have tried https://www.worldremit.com/en/Kenya but there is no option for Kenya as me the sender & reciever :-)

Any Help will be appreciated

Thanks John, was trying to avoid that route but it seems to be the only option for now. I wanted to know if anyone has used a different route from PAYPAL. On Thu, May 28, 2015 at 10:14 AM, John K. <kamau.john@gmail.com> wrote:

Have you tried connecting it to a paypal account then sending money to a Kenyan Paypal account, and from there withdrawing it via Equity?

1. Use the card to buy Airtime via https://www.pesapal.com 2. Redeem the purchased airtime for cash via https://www.chura.co.ke/

PS : I haven't tried this before, but theoretically it looks feasible.

Try these apps http://www.sendwave.com https://www.wayawaya.co.ke/login.php They're ideally for remittance from the US - but I believe you can add credit cards. R On Thu, May 28, 2015 at 11:25 AM, John Karanja via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

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.

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" ᐧ On 2 June 2015 at 16:22, Omingo Obiko via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
