NationHela is a new international money transfer service that allows you to receive money, from anywhere in the world, straight to your NationHela prepaid Visa card and mobile phone.

To use the NationHela service you will first need to buy a NationHela prepaid card from any of the NationHela agents countrywide, including NationMedia Group distributors, Diamond Trust Bank (DTB) branches and all leading supermarketers for KES 500. The NationHela card pack contains your card, your PIN, and information on how to use your card.

Kenyans in the diaspora will then be able to send money to your NationHela account at any Xpress Money, Moneygram money transfer outlet or through www.nationahela.com.

You can top up your NationHela account through M-pesa or through a NationHela agent or withdraw funds in your NationHela account at a NationHela agent or at a VISA ATM.

Your NationHela prepaid card can be used to make payments at any Visa merchant outlets or pay for your utility bills (water and electricity) through your mobile phone using your NationHela account. You will also have the option of transferring money to another NationHela account holder or transfer cash to your M –Pesa account.

The official media launch of NationHela will be held on Wednesday, 15 August 2012.
