Kinroot
Every transfer, split at the source

The money always arrives. Make some of it stay.

Kinroot divides each transfer you send home between what your family needs this month and an account that accumulates in your name. Same corridor, same arrival time — one decision, made once.

No minimum. Change or pause the split at any time. The portion you allocate to yourself is never touched by the transfer fee.

Corridors
The arithmetic

You have sent home enough to buy a house. You do not own one.

Three hundred pounds a month for ten years is thirty-six thousand pounds. Nobody in the family did anything wrong with it — it went on rent, school fees, medicine and the funeral nobody planned for. That is what it was sent for.

The problem is structural. Remittance rails are built to deliver money and nothing else. At no point does the system ask whether a share of this should be accumulating somewhere, in your name, for the thing you actually left home to build.

Kinroot asks that question once, at setup, and then stops asking.

The process

Set it up once. It runs every month without you.

Step 01

Set the transfer

Amount, corridor and date — the same standing transfer you already send, moved onto Kinroot rails.

Step 02

Choose the split

Decide what share lands in your family's hands and what share holds in your own account. Adjust it whenever you like.

Step 03

Money moves once

Your family is paid at the usual time, in the usual way. The allocated portion is funded in the same movement.

Step 04

The sleeve accumulates

Held in your name, visible in the app, withdrawable to either country whenever you need it.

Allocation

What the split actually costs your family.

Usually less than people expect. Move the fields to see what a change of ten or fifteen percent does over a few years.

Principal only. Figures exclude any investment return and assume the transfer continues uninterrupted. Where a sleeve is invested rather than held in cash, its value can fall as well as rise.

What the sleeve can hold

Four places for the money to sit, depending on what you are building toward.

Cash savings

Held in naira, cedis, shillings or dollars. Withdraw to either country on demand.

Treasury instruments

Government bills and bonds in the destination market, at the tenor you choose.

Land & property fund

Fractional exposure to serviced plots and completed units, with documentation held in your name.

Education fund

Ring-fenced for named beneficiaries, released directly to institutions on presentation of fees.

Fees

One transfer fee. The exchange rate printed in full.

Most services advertise a low fee and take the margin in the rate instead. We show both, on every advice slip, before the money moves — and the share you allocate to yourself carries no fee at all.

Questions

What senders ask before they move a standing order.

Who owns the money in the sleeve?
You do. The sleeve is held in your name, not your family's, and only you can move money out of it. This is the whole point of the product: the portion you allocate does not enter household spending unless you decide it should.
Can my family see or access it?
They see what they receive, as they always have. The sleeve is visible only to you by default. You can grant a named person view access, or nominate a beneficiary, but neither of those gives anyone else the ability to withdraw.
What if I need the money back urgently?
Cash sleeves are withdrawable on demand to either country, with two free withdrawals a month. Treasury and property holdings settle on their own terms — bills at maturity, property fund units on the monthly redemption date — so keep the portion you might need at short notice in cash.
Does my family receive less?
Yes, by exactly the share you allocate — that is an honest trade, and it is the one most people have never been offered. Many senders start at five or ten percent, or allocate only the increase when they raise the amount they send, so the household never sees a reduction.
How long does a transfer take to arrive?
Same as the corridor you use today — typically minutes to bank accounts and mobile money in Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya, and within a working day where a partner bank requires manual settlement. Allocating a portion does not delay the part your family receives.
Where is the money actually held?
Client funds are held separately from company funds with our banking partners in each market. Treasury instruments are registered through licensed custodians, and property fund documentation is issued in your name. Details of the institutions involved are set out in the account terms before you deposit.
