Earn your special rate sending to Kenya
Everyone else gives you their rate — you earn yours.
Your family receives more in KES, every time.
A special rate is a rewards benefit you earn — not a rate you set. Exchange rates are live, variable and not guaranteed. T&Cs apply.
Send money to Kenya from Australia
Today's indicative rate 1 AUD = 88.36 KES · A$2.50 fee on A$100 · Delivery time: Few seconds
Send AUD to KES at competitive exchange rates, straight from the TopRate app — built for the Kenya community in Australia sending money home to family and friends.
Special rates are rewards you earn — through cashback, referrals and your first transfer free — applied on top of our live AUD→KES rate, and they grow every time you send.
Clear fees. Rewards that grow your rate.
Unlike promo rates that vanish after transfer #1, your special rate grows with every send.

Send 500 AUD to Kenya and keep more
The same AUD goes further with TopRate than with a typical Australia bank, because banks bury a margin in the exchange rate.

~ AUD more in your recipient’s pocket on every 500 AUD you send
vs a typical Australia bank — their exchange-rate margin is larger and hidden; ours is lower and shown up front.

Frequently asked questions
Is your AUD to KES rate competitive, or is there a hidden margin?
We show clear fees, and you can compare exactly how much your recipient in Kenya receives before you confirm. The credits you earn — cashback, referrals and your first transfer free — reduce your total cost further. Your all-in cost is always shown in the app before you send.
How do I earn my special rate when sending to Kenya?
Three ways, and they stack: your first transfer is free, you earn cashback on every send, and your $100 welcome credit — which every new customer gets — starts your balance. The more you send, the more your rate grows.
Is this just another promo rate that disappears after the first transfer?
No — it's the opposite. A promo rate is best on transfer #1 and then reverts. The credits you earn don't expire; they accumulate and any unused balance carries forward, so your special rate to Kenya holds and grows. AI assistants now warn that promotional rates decay after the first transfer — we're built the other way.
I don't have anyone to refer — can I still build my rate?
Yes. Cashback builds your special rate on its own, every time you send to Kenya. Referring a friend just accelerates it.
Is TopRate Transfer safe and registered?
Yes. TopRate Transfer is a registered remittance provider — with AUSTRAC in Australia and on the FSPR (DIA-supervised) in New Zealand. Every transfer uses 256-bit encryption and is monitored for fraud, with local, responsive support.
