Indicative mid-market rates with buy/sell spread, updated live. Your locked rate and fee are shown at checkout before you send.
Send money home the way it should be.
Support the people who matter most — without the queues, the hidden fees or the anxious waiting. See exactly what your recipient gets before you press send.
Instant delivery. Most transfers to mobile wallets land in under two minutes. Bank deposits and cash pickup are available where you need them.
Locked-in rates. The rate you see at checkout is the rate you get. No surprises after you've sent.
One clear fee. We show our full fee upfront and never take a hidden margin on the exchange rate.
Track every transfer. Follow your money in real time from the app, and get a notification the moment it's delivered.
Send how they receive. M-Pesa and other mobile wallets, bank accounts, or cash pickup — your recipient chooses what works for them.
Pay suppliers, teams and partners across borders — from one dashboard.
Laeken for Business gives growing companies the cross-border payment rails that used to be reserved for banks. Hold multiple currencies, pay hundreds of recipients in one batch, and reconcile everything in one place.
Batch payouts. Upload a file or use our dashboard to pay up to thousands of recipients in a single run — payroll, suppliers, agents, gig workers.
Multi-currency accounts. Hold, convert and pay out in the currencies your business actually uses, at wholesale-grade rates.
High-value transfers. Dedicated handling and priority settlement for large transactions such as property purchases, imports and capital transfers.
Compliance built in. KYB onboarding, sanctions screening and transaction monitoring handled by our licensed infrastructure — so you stay compliant without building a compliance team.
Clean reconciliation. Statements, references and exportable reports that match how your finance team works.
Cross-border payments, one API call away.
Embed remittance and payouts directly into your product. The Laeken API gives fintechs, marketplaces, MTOs and platforms programmatic access to our full payout network — banks, mobile wallets and cash networks — through a single integration.
