Kenyan Shilling (KES) exchange rate – Kantor Grand Katowice

Kenyan Shilling in Katowice – where to exchange

Kenyan Shilling (KES) is not available in every currency exchange office – most offices in Poland simply do not hold it. At Kantor Grand on Adama Mickiewicza 22 in Katowice, we continuously buy and sell it, so before traveling to Kenya or after returning, it's worth checking our current exchange rate with us.

For larger amounts, we determine the exchange rate individually – just ask the staff on site. We also offer a loyalty card with more favorable conditions for regular customers.

Purchase and sale of Kenyan Shilling (KES)

We update the KES exchange rate continuously, based on international quotations and the situation on the African market. You can check the buy and sell price on our website or at our office on Adama Mickiewicza 22 in Katowice.

Why Kenyan Shilling is harder to exchange than the Euro

The Kenyan Shilling is a local currency, with low liquidity outside East Africa – few currency exchange offices in Europe even hold it in cash, and if they do, the exchange rate is often less favorable than for popular currencies. Additionally, in Kenya itself, a large portion of payments are made via mobile (M-Pesa system), so cash in shillings is mainly used for markets, local transport, and small purchases – it's worth considering this when planning how much to exchange before your trip.

What affects the KES exchange rate

• quotations of the Kenyan Shilling relative to the dollar and euro on international markets,
• limited availability of the currency in European exchange offices,
• Kenya's economic situation and decisions by its central bank.

The KES exchange rate can change from day to day, so it's better to check it shortly before visiting the exchange office, rather than far in advance.

What the exchange looks like on site

We settle the transaction in cash, in accordance with foreign exchange regulations, in the presence of a Kantor employee. For larger amounts, we recommend contacting us by phone in advance – this way, we can prepare the appropriate currency stock and offer a better exchange rate than when exchanging 'on the spot'.

Returning from Kenya with cash?

We also buy Kenyan Shilling from customers returning from trips – you don't have to wait until your next trip to exchange the remaining cash into Polish Zloty.
