Hey folks, I could use some real-world advice here. My brother recently moved back to Kenya, and I want to support him financially from time to time. The problem is I don’t really know what the most efficient or trustworthy way is to send funds across borders. Has anyone dealt with this before and figured out a good solution?

I’ve had to deal with this exact challenge when helping relatives, so I get where you’re coming from. The main things you’ll want to look at are transfer speed, fees, and the actual exchange rate, because even a small difference can make a big impact on what your brother receives. Personally, I use a service that allows me to send money to kenya quickly, and the big win for me was the fact that it avoids those hidden extras some providers sneak in. I’d suggest you compare a couple of different services, maybe even test with a small amount first, so you can see which one feels the most reliable before committing larger sums.
