Indicative estimate, not a guaranteed quote. Where our numbers come from
Not a single hero number. This is both legs, both spreads, the on-chain fee and the cash-out, quoted as a range from best to worst case.

This is the honest version of the crypto path: four legs, each with its real cost. Nothing here is a single flattering number. The all-in range for this corridor is 1.1%–4.6%.
Fund a reputable exchange with your GBP and buy USDT. Because GBP is not the dollar, this leg first crosses GBP into USD, so its spread is baked into the range below.
+1.2% typical buy spread
Transfer the USDT to the recipient (or your own off-ramp account) over Tron (TRC-20). This is the only part that is genuinely near-free: the on-chain network fee is a flat cost, not a percentage.
≈ $2.02 network fee, flat
Sell the USDT for KES on Busha. You receive about 129.14 KES per USDT after the local sell spread, a 0.6% discount to the mid-market rate. Here the local market runs slightly against the crypto route, and we count it honestly, not hidden.
+0.8% typical sell spread
Withdraw the KES to a bank account or mobile wallet. A small withdrawal fee applies at the receiving end, and it is counted in the all-in range, not hidden.
+0.3% cash-out
The off-ramp is where the stablecoin route earns or loses its edge: the real KES-per-USDT price at a display-safe venue, and how far it sits above or below the mid-market rate.
129.14KES / USDT
Below the mid-market rate, so the local market works against the crypto route here. We still count it, honestly.

The World Bank tracks the real all-in price of sending money on the United Kingdom to Kenya corridor across every major provider. It is the authoritative, government-grade benchmark, updated each quarter, and we hold our live numbers against it so nothing here is a number we made up. The cheapest route we find right now, 0.7%, beats the corridor average by about 2.7%.

The same corridor costs differently depending on the payout method. Wise-style estimates cover a bank-account payout only; cash pickup and mobile wallets are priced separately here.
