How to send money from Kenya to Comoros on mobile

You can send money from Kenya to Comoros on mobile through global money transfer apps like MoneyGram and WorldRemit, and via partners of M-PESA Global. Direct mobile money wallet transfers (e.g., M-PESA to an existing Comoros mobile money service like Mvola) are not widely available, so transfers typically involve cash pickup or bank transfers. 

Using M-PESA Global with Partners

You can use your M-PESA balance to fund transfers through M-PESA’s international partners, allowing the recipient to collect cash at a local agent location in Comoros.

Via the M-PESA App 

1. Open the M-PESA App and log in using your PIN.
2. Navigate to the “Transact” section and select “Global”.
3. Select a partner that serves Comoros, such as Western Union or MoneyGram.
4. Choose the option for cash pickup and enter the recipient’s details (full name as it appears on their ID document, phone number).
5. Enter the amount in KES. The app will display the exchange rate and total cost.
6. Confirm the transaction with your M-PESA PIN.
7. Share the resulting Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) with the recipient so they can collect the cash in Comoros. 

Via USSD (*334# or *840#) 

1. Dial *334# or *840# on your Safaricom line.
2. Select “Send Money” or “Send Money Abroad”, then “M-PESA Global”.
3. Choose a partner like Western Union or MoneyGram.
4. Follow the prompts to enter the recipient’s information and transfer amount.
5. Review and confirm the transaction details with your M-PESA PIN.
