His is not new, I have used it severally, they just went to press but it's tee same process via First National Bank in SA, 8 working days, means roughly two weeks to have your money. Rates are not bad, got an 84 when the dollar was at 86-87, of course you have time to go back when you get your rates calculated to you. Overall I think is good for some of us, minus the wait time.

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:

@John - this exchange rate discrepancy is normal for all banks - you only begin negotiating if you have more than 1,000 USD, so don't blame Equity. 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 On Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 8:18 AM, John K. <kamau.john@gmail.com> wrote:

@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. Best Regards, Michael Akunga.

@Mickey - thats is with all banks, I have to repeat! - Get a USD credit/debit card and go and withdraw KES from the ATM - At withdrawal, you get a rate and at the end of the month on your statement, you get a different rate! This is because at the time of transaction, you are showed the current rate, but the actualy transaction at the bank never happens - your money is taken to an escrow account and the actual transaction happens 3-4 days later and the rate of the day applies - This does not necessarily mean you always lose, sometimes you gain - thats why a businessman worth his salt caters for exchange rate loses & gains! This is business, not some charity work. if you are going to transact less than 100USD per month on this, you are better off coming to list and asking for those PAYPAL to Mpesa exchanges, then you do not lose money! ./Ok3ch On Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 9:56 AM, Mickey Mickey <michaelakunga@gmail.com>wrote:

Why not just get a USD account. Do FX only after you receive the funds in USD. You can then transfer to ksh account on same day rates... On Jan 18, 2014 12:22 PM, "Okechukwu" <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

Never used it again, 6% is just plain daylight robbery. Read the fine print when using it.

Dollar accounts have lots of requirements such as proof or regular income in dollars.

@Tusker - There used to be KCB Kipande House, BBK at Barclay Plaza & SCB Gigiri but all were removed, I have no idea why - The only option I have used is the Stanbic at JKIA Departure Lounge, but you have to be traveling out & am not sure if its still there after the JKIA fire.

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 | | | | | | | | | | On Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 8:18 AM, John K. < kamau.john@gmail.com | | | | > | | | | wrote: | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
