How Stablecoin Payout Works in Kenya

Bitwage routes USDC on-chain to the contractor's wallet. The contractor can hold stablecoins or convert to KES locally.

Compliance & Security

Kenya requires foreign income to be declared with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). Bitwage screens all payments against OFAC and UN sanctions lists.

The KES is relatively stable but subject to periodic depreciation. Bitwage locks the USD/KES rate at execution time.
