The government has suspended the licence of Dahabshiil money transfer company and another 12 companies which offer money transfer and Forex services that are mostly used by Somalis. The 13 are suspected of financing Al Shabaab terror group and its terror activities.

Dahabshiil is among 86 companies and individuals whose bank accounts have been frozen for being associated with terrorism and piracy related activities. Through the banking order number 3 of 2015, the Kenyan government has ordered all banks and micro-finance institutions to deny financial services to the 86 and file their transaction reports with the central bank within 48 hours.

Below is a list of all money transfer companies that have been shut down:

  • Amal Express Money Transfer Ltd
  • Amana Money Transfer Limited
