Send business payouts from Kenya to Ghana through KeyBS Pay. Funds are debited in KES and delivered to beneficiaries in GHS on the fastest eligible local rail available at the moment of payment.

The Kenya → Ghana corridor is used for supplier settlement, workforce payouts, marketplace disbursements and trade payments. Every payout is subject to KYB, KYC and AML review; pricing is quote-based and disclosed in full before approval.

KeyBS Pay routes only through partners licensed for the Ghana destination. Where a domestic real-time rail is available (for example, a beneficiary-eligible real-time credit-transfer network), it is used by default; higher-value transactions and non-eligible beneficiary banks are routed to wire.
