What we've measured on AUD → KES
Across 26 days of our own recorded quotes, the gap between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 1.1% (widest single day: 1.4%). On a 1,000 AUD transfer that is the difference between the best and worst choice.
The leader has not changed once in that window — Wise has topped this corridor every day we have recorded it. That makes it unusually stable, but it is still worth checking before you send.
Provider rates on this corridor are measured against Wise's published mid-market rate. No central bank publishes a rate for KES, so the yardstick here comes from Wise — which we also rank, and which therefore sits exactly at the reference by definition. We disclose this rather than hide it.
Figures come from our own append-only rate history, not from provider marketing. See the methodology and rate trends.

Are there hidden fees when sending AUD to KES?
On this corridor the two costs split roughly 0.63% in visible fees and 1.17% in exchange-rate markup, averaged over the 2 providers here that publish a fee — so the markup is the larger part, about 65% of what you pay. 1 of them charge no fee at all on this corridor, which is exactly why fee alone is a poor guide.

Can I send AUD to a mobile wallet in Kenya?
Yes. Several providers on this page pay out to M-Pesa and Airtel Money in Kenya. Choose your wallet as the delivery method at checkout on the provider's site — the recipient gets the money directly in their mobile-wallet balance, usually within minutes. Rankings above already account for the fee and exchange-rate markup, so the best value applies to wallet payout too.
