Mid-sized transfer

1,000 EUR to KES — How much is 1,000 in KES today?

Transfers in the $500–$2,000 range are typical of monthly family remittances, freelancer payouts, and one-off bill payments abroad. This is where the rate margin (the hidden cost in the exchange rate) starts to outweigh the upfront fee.
