NationHela is an international money transfer service that was launched last year on August by the Nation media group and Diamond trust bank. Initially, this service was first intended to facilitate the sending of money to and from the diaspora but since it is also a visa card, it has also been adopted for use in payment of services and goods.
NationHela facilitates sending money to Kenya from any part of the World which has opened up several opportunities for expatriates who did not have an avenue for trading with Kenyans.
