CRDB Wakala review

The transfer fee is not charged to the recipient, so the money arrives without a receiving charge. Payout options cover bank, cash pickup and wallet, and support runs on phone, email and help centre if you want the exact charge for your own payment method.

Transfers are credited in real time, with the account funded as soon as the transfer lands, which suits anyone covering urgent bills from an overseas sender. The account is held with CRDB Bank Plc, and support runs on phone, email and help centre if a transfer needs checking.

Payouts run to bank, cash pickup and wallet, so the recipient can take the money as a bank credit, a cash collection or a wallet transfer. The same current account also carries the joint account option, which helps when a household receives the money together.

The account lists 4 currencies, below the site median of 5. That fits a single market set-up with a few currencies rather than a traveller holding many at once, and support runs on phone, email and help centre to confirm what applies to an account.

Yes. The listed features (joint account) cover a joint account, so two people can hold and spend from the same balance. It runs through CRDB Bank Plc, and support runs on phone, email and help centre for the paperwork.

The service runs through CRDB Bank Plc, a bank headquartered in Tanzania. Agency banking has been part of the operation since 2013, and support runs on phone, email and help centre for account questions.

The transfer fee on this service is not charged to the recipient, and support runs on phone, email and help centre for anything tied to a payment method. PayPal Colombia charges a percentage plus a fixed amount internationally, Skrill waives fees on bank transfers but charges a percentage on cards, and Paysera lists euro transfers to SEPA and Paysera users as free.
