Remittance Service Providers
With such a wide selection, it can be difficult to compare services and identify one which is best for you. To help the diaspora compare RSPs and make more informed decisions, organizations and companies have developed remittance price comparison databases. A key objective of these databases is to address transparency issues which affect remittance markets and contribute to high transfer costs. The rationale is that consumers continue to use traditional RSPs because they are not aware of and experience difficulty comparing different services and products.
Contribution of the diaspora to Kenya’s development
The diaspora make a significant impact on a country’s development through remittances, investment, philanthropy, skills’ transfer and more. Remittances are arguably the best measured contribution that they make. Remittance inflows, however, are likely to be much larger because official figures do not account for money transferred through informal channels (for example, when money is sent through hawala or in the pockets of relatives and friends). This provides more insight into the role of the diaspora in the overall development of the Kenyan economy.
