      IMPORTANT INFORMATION

      Before you transfer

      Key points to consider before making an international transfer from Kenya.

      Keep in mind that Kenyan and UK regulations may differ depending on:

      • The amount you are sending.
      • The source and purpose of the funds.
      • Whether the money has already been taxed elsewhere.

      For property purchases or large personal transfers, you may be asked to provide supporting documents such as a sale agreement, invoice, or bank statement.
