Equity serves Kenyans abroad with diaspora accounts and remittance routes home, and it is one of the ways to withdraw PayPal to a Kenyan account. A Kenyan abroad can open and run an Equity diaspora account, receive remittances, invest and access mortgages back home, managed remotely through Equity Online and the app.
Diaspora banking
Open and run an Equity diaspora account remotely, receive money into it via Equity's remittance partners, and access diaspora products including mortgages back home. The account is run from the Equity app and Equity Online.
PayPal to Equity
Equity supports withdrawing your PayPal balance to your Equity account, converted to shillings, once you link PayPal to Equity's withdrawal service. Confirm the current linking steps and rates with Equity, since these change. For the flow generally, see PayPal to M-PESA and the PayPal Kenya hub.
