What's the cheapest way to send money to Iran from Kenya?

Accepted Answer

Finding the cheapest way to send money from Kenya to Iran might not be that easy given the umpteen choices available. You have to look at various parameters like exchange rates and fees to determine if the cost of one money transfer operator is less than that of another or not.

It may also be tempting to use some of the traditional funds transfer services like foreign currency exchanges or operators located in shopping malls, grocery stores and other local outlets. While you can certainly transfer KES to IRR via these channels, they may not be the most economical way to send money internationally. Typically, brick and mortar services charge higher fees and may also provide lower rates. All this contributes to making your foreign exchange transfer more expensive.

Online money transfers tend to be more cost effective, and RemitFinder provides you quite a number of good choices to ensure you are able to get optimum Kenya to Iran exchange rate. Many of our partners also provide promotions and offers that are exclusive to our customers; availing these will definitely reduce the cost of your foreign exchange transaction further.

Question 4

How to send money to Iran from Kenya through a bank?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend using your local bank in Kenya for your next KES to IRR overseas funds transfer. The reason for this is that banks are known to give you worse exchange rates and yet charge high foreign exchange fees. That is a double whammy that will make the transaction much more expensive for you.

That said, there may be circumstances you may want to consider your bank for your international funds transfer. For example, if you need to move a very large sum of money from Kenya to Iran (for property purchase, or any such high value transaction), and do not want smaller transactions. In such cases, be sure to carefully inspect all details of the remittance transaction that your bank offers you. You can use the RemitFinder remittance search engine to compare your bank's quote with many other money transfer companies to try to negotiate a better deal with your bank.

Notwithstanding any unique circumstances as above, you will generally save more by relying on online foreign exchange companies for sending IRR to Iran. These companies will let you use your local bank account in Kenya to pay for your Iran money transfer, but will likely save you a lot of money by affording better rates and citing lower foreign exchange transaction fees.

Question 5

How to send money from Kenya to Iran fast?

Accepted Answer

The speed of your Kenyan Shilling to Iranian Rial funds transfer will depend on various factors like which provider you use, how you pay for your transaction, how you choose for your recipient to get the funds, etc. You will, therefore, want to compare various options to see which one suits your needs best.

We created a comprehensive guide on remittances to help you understand all the factors that come into play when you convert KES to IRR. Establishing a solid understanding of all the criteria that affect your transaction speed will help you compare various money transfer companies to see which one can provide you with the fastest transaction.

One possible approach that will help you send money fast to Iran from Kenya is to rely on cash as payment as well as delivery method. This would mean paying for your transfer with cash, most likely by walking into your provider's office or agent location. Similarly, your recipient could also pick up cash in Iran if they have a pickup location nearby. Dealing with cash on both sides will eliminate bank transfers in the middle which generally take longer as money has to move between banks.

One drawback of cash transfers is the need to go to physical drop off and pickup locations, and the inherent risk involved in carrying cash, especially for larger amounts. Another one is that cash transfers generally involve lower exchange rates as compared to online transfers. If you do not want to handle cash for the aforementioned reasons, the next fastest transfers would be to payout IRR into a mobile wallet, or even do a mobile airtime popup. These methods would be faster than Kenya bank to Iran bank transfer.
