Common Questions

How does Arbitred make money? +
Arbitred is free for users. We earn a small affiliate commission when you click through to certain providers and complete a transfer. This never affects the rates you see — we show all providers objectively, ranked by value to you.
Are the rates shown accurate? +
Rates are indicative and updated every 5 minutes from live data sources. The actual rate you receive may vary slightly based on transfer amount, payment method (card vs bank), and the provider’s terms at the time of transfer. Always confirm on the provider’s website before sending.
Do I need to create an account to compare rates? +
No. Arbitred requires zero registration. Simply enter your amount and currency to see live rates instantly. We do offer optional rate alerts if you want to be notified when a rate hits your target.
Which providers are best for sending to Kenya? +
It depends on the amount and currency. For small amounts, NALA and LemFi often win on rate with zero fees. For larger transfers, Wise’s low spread typically wins despite a small fixed fee. Banks (Equity, KCB) are generally the most expensive. Use the comparison table to see exactly for your specific amount.
Is M-Pesa Global a good option? +
M-Pesa Global is convenient (funds arrive directly to M-Pesa) and fee-free, but the exchange rate is typically 1.5–2% below the best available. For recipients who primarily use M-Pesa, the convenience may outweigh the rate difference for smaller amounts.
How do rate alerts work? +
Sign up with your email, choose your currency pair, and set your target rate. We’ll email you as soon as the rate crosses your threshold so you can send at the right time.
