Can money also come from Kenya to Rwanda?

Yes, on its own corridor page, funded from M-Pesa and landing in Rwandan wallets in about 47 seconds. Money moves both ways on Eversend, which matters when family or business runs across this border.

What is the franc to shilling rate?

The live rate for this pair is at the top of the page, refreshed within the last 30 minutes, and the previewed shilling amount is what arrives.

Does my recipient need anything?

Only their existing M-Pesa or bank account. Nothing to install, nothing to register.

Shown with the rate before you confirm: KSh 70 for M-Pesa payouts and KSh 110 for bank deposits. Eversend to Eversend is free.

The short answer

You can send Rwandan francs to Kenya with Eversend, funded from MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money, and the shillings land in M-Pesa or a Kenyan bank account. Rwanda and Kenya trade, study and work in each other's economies constantly, and this corridor runs both directions on Eversend: send here, and money can come back the other way just as fast. The RWF to KES rate is shown before you confirm.
