Each provider will have different rules on the maximum amount of currency you can buy.

Some providers will allow you to order large amounts, but we suggest you check the terms and conditions before you place an order if you are ordering a large amount.

Also, consider that currently you are only allowed to carry. If you take more than this you have a legal obligation to inform customs. Note, this amount is per person so if you are travelling with more cash than this you can distribute it to your fellow travellers. Therefore, it is important to check all of this before you convert your gbp to Kenyan shilling.

You will only be able to order notes, not coins.

If you require specific denominations consult with the provider first to ensure they offer this service when buying Kenyan shilling. Most will charge for this, but we find most providers supply a mixed selection of denominations. If a supplier does not specifically offer this service, contact them and ask them if they can provide the franc denominations you require, they may do this for free depending on their stock levels!
