PayBill & PayTill Are Live on Yousend: Pay Bills directly to Kenya

If you’ve ever sent money home to Kenya, you know the drill isn’t always “just send it to their phone.” Sometimes it’s the school fees paybill. Sometimes it’s the electricity token. Sometimes it’s your mum at Naivas, and someone still has to buy goods at the till. Mobile money alone was never the whole picture — and now Yousend isn’t either.

PayBill and PayTill are now live on Yousend. Update your Yousend app, and you’ll see the option sitting right alongside your regular mobile money transfers.

What’s Actually New

Three ways to send, each built for how the money is actually meant to move:

• Mobile Money — straight to a phone number, the way you’ve always sent to family and friends.
• PayBill — for businesses and organizations: utilities, school fees, invoices, the stuff with an account number attached.
• PayTill (Buy Goods) — for merchants: supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacies, anywhere with a till number at the counter.

Why It Matters

Because “send money home” was never just one transaction. It’s rent, it’s KPLC tokens, it’s fees due before Monday, it’s a till number your aunty read out over the phone while you’re standing in a queue three time zones away. Yousend now moves the same way the money’s actually needed — no converting a PayBill payment into a workaround, no asking someone to withdraw cash just so you could send it the “normal” way.

How to Send

1. Update your Yousend app
2. Open a transfer to Kenya
3. Select account type and choose from Mobile Money, PayBill, or PayTill (Buy Goods)
4. Enter the number—phone, PayBill account, or Till Number
5. Send

Same speed. Same zero fees. Just closer to how Kenya actually pays.
