Mid-market rate: 1 GBP = 174.9810 KES · Sending £1,000.00 · Reference rate for this pair comes from Wise, which is also listed above, so treat the spread column as indicative rather than independent. The ECB doesn't publish KES. · How we rank

* First transfer is free with this provider. The fee shown is the standard one that applies to your later transfers.

How “recipient gets” is calculated: (amount you send − fee) × exchange rate. Every fee here is the one that provider quoted for £1,000.00 — fees can change with the amount you send, so confirm the final figure on the provider's site.

The top 3 options are within 0.5% of each other — close enough to be a tie at this amount, so the one listed first is not a clear winner. Pick on speed, payout method, or who your recipient already uses.
