My question, what about taxes and fees ?? Things are moving fast indeed… Seems that soon Kenyans will be able to send and receive abroad as Zap and Safaricom have both plunged into the market.

Why is no one talking about this company. ATMCASH only charges $5 every time and has the lowest exchange rates. Why is no one talking about this company.

It is a very easy option if one does have a US-based account, one that perhaps is owned by a brother or sister living overseas. Very convenient and inexpensive. That’s very true.

The ATM option isn't the easiest option to receive transactions for everyday Africans, simply due to the lack of bank account in-country, and many times lack of a contact outside the country who will give them an ATM card for their account in that other country. @Kelsey – I think it’s safe to say that you’re one of the few people who has a US bank account in Cameroon.

The ATM's are sparse, especially in the provincial capital of Bamenda, but transaction costs were typically a mere $1.50 - $3.00.

PayPal can't be received in Africa, and there are indications that they are purposefully closing down accounts that are accessed from the continent, even if it's owned by someone from the US with a flawless history.
