KES

The payment processing of this currency is considered to be relatively standardised.

Besides the standard information, a clear reason / purpose of payment is mandatory and consists of a full written description (in English) of the nature of payment to be provided in the remittance information. For example: providing an invoice number without guiding text is considered as insufficient and can result in errors or delays.

Example: Payment of travel expenses – invoice n° 123456789

Additionally, it is mandatory to provide in the remittance information:

• The beneficiary’s bank full name
• The beneficiary’s bank full address (exact branch location)
