How to send money from Kenya to Angola on mobile

You can send money from Kenya to Angola on mobile using major international money transfer apps like Mukuru, MoneyGram, and WorldRemit. While direct M-PESA to M-PESA transfers are not available for Angola, you can use M-PESA Global to pay for transfers through partners like Western Union, with recipients receiving funds via cash pickup, bank deposits, or in some cases, a mobile wallet. 

Using Third-Party Money Transfer Apps

These apps allow for flexible sending options and payout methods in Angola, including transfers to the recipient’s Afrimoney mobile wallet, bank accounts, or cash pickup locations. 

• Mukuru: Offers the ability to send money for instant cash collection or directly to a mobile wallet in Angola. You can download the Mukuru App and create an order, paying with a bank transfer or card.
• MoneyGram: Facilitates transfers to thousands of cash pickup locations or directly to bank accounts in Angola. You can use the MoneyGram App to start a transfer.
• WorldRemit: Allows transfers to bank accounts or cash pickup locations (not direct mobile money to all wallets) in Angola. Use the WorldRemit App and pay using a debit/credit card or bank transfer. 

Using M-PESA Global with Partners

You can use your M-PESA account to fund a money transfer through M-PESA Global partners like Western Union. The recipient will then collect the money at an agent location in Angola. 

Via the M-PESA App or USSD 

1. Access the M-PESA Global service on the M-PESA App or by dialing *334#.
2. Select a partner like Western Union from the list of options.
3. Choose the option to send money to a cash pickup location in Angola.
4. Enter the recipient’s full name exactly as it appears on their ID document, their phone number, and the amount in KES.
5. Confirm the transaction and share the Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) with the recipient.
6. The recipient can use the MTCN and a valid ID to collect the cash in Angolan Kwanzas (AOA) at a local agent location. 

Always compare exchange rates and fees across different providers to find the best option for your transfer.
