How do they compare with other banks? Just to ask, what do guys trading in forex do? Can't they help? Pardon my ignorant reasoning.

my bank's treasury usually actually give me better rates than even the forex - as long as the amount is more than usd 3000.


Which bank? Mine [Stan, Cfc,Family & Equity] give me bad rates always. Only once did Cfc match the bureaux.

equity. always call their treasury and compare their rates with the bureaus. have many times gotten higher rates than the bureaus - from 10 cents to even kes 1.

Unless you have an insider at the banks for something like 'staff rates' or you are changing some significantly large figures, or you don't want to risk walking around with cash, banks are thieves. There are bureaus with very good rates along Wabera street, the stretch starting from k-rep bank Kenyatta Avenue down towards City Hall way.

My take Westlands bureaus are a con & have bank rates or worse.

@mkenyan, I've never had luck with them either.
