This collaboration introduces a secure, user-friendly, and cost-effective way to send money, directly benefiting the Kenyan economy by increasing remittance inflows.

With its focus on transparency, security, and competitive rates, LemFi is poised to become a major player in Kenya’s remittance market, offering a brighter future for Kenyans who rely on financial support from loved ones abroad.
