Update: Chura has temporarily suspended PayPal services.
When I first heard about Chura, I laughed. Chura means frog in Swahili, right? So why would a startup call itself a frog?
However, when I noticed that they were featured in Business Daily, Nation and Demo Africa, huge publications, I was totally flabbergasted. In fact, the Demo-Africa article stated that they were sponsored by the US State Department through a [email protected] partnership.
I decided to dig in some more and see what they offer and I must confess I was impressed.
I’ve written about many other PayPal to MPESA services in the past. Some come and go, some still stand strong. I would confidently state that this is one of those huge ones that’s slated to offer incredible services for a long time. After all, the major publications above can’t all be wrong.
Without further ado, let’s dive in for more details on Chura’s services.
PayPal to MPESA Transfers
Yes, I know there’s PayPal to Equity which is cheaper, but it takes 3 days, right? What happens when you need your cash faster? Maybe you have an emergency.
Or rent is due and you can’t tell your landlord to wait three business days for cash to clear.
Or life happens and you have absolutely no money and no one to borrow from.
The list goes on, but in short, sometimes you need money faster. Here’s what you get with Chura’s PayPal to MPESA service.
Get Cash in Under 1 Minute
Chura currently offers the FASTEST PayPal withdrawal service. You literally get cash in a flash. It is the first fully automated instant PayPal withdrawal service in Kenya.
I still remember one day looking for Sam and his team to let me know how they do it. Of course no business can give you its secrets. But it never hurts to try :).
Their automation makes it a service that really fulfills its promise. If they say under one minute, it literally is under one minute.
Competitive Rates
Chura offers competitive instant withdrawal rates. Before writing this post, I checked out many different trusted instant services and found out that Chura is actually cheaper than most. This gives you a win-win situation. You don’t only get the money faster, but also cheaper than most instant service providers.
Superb Support
Do you have a query that you need answered? Chura has got you covered, 24/7. You can call or message them anytime and you’ll get a timely and useful response. Most other services don’t operate 24/7 and don’t even have a comprehensive support team.
Risk Free
Chura gives you risk free services. They give a 100% money back guarantee. This means that if for any reason you don’t get your MPESA instantly, the cash is fully returned to your PayPal. No hassles.
Trusted Services
This company has been providing excellent services online for 2 years now. It is a trusted and reliable service. With them, you’re assured that you’ll not lose your hard earned cash.
No Float Issues
Have you ever tried calling your favorite dealer trying to withdraw more than $300 then you got back the response that there’s no float? Not anymore. Here they always ensure that they have enough to sort you out whenever you need to cash out.
MPESA to PayPal Services
Chura also offers reliable MPESA to PayPal services. This comes in handy whenever you want to buy a product or pay someone via PayPal. This is what you get when you use them for this:
Speed
Chura’s signature feature is speed. This is the same for their MPESA to PayPal transfers. You just follow a simple procedure and get the cash in less than 2 minutes.
Rates
Their rates are better than most. In fact, it’s cheaper to use Chura to deposit money to your PayPal account, as opposed to doing it from a linked card. Here you get rates that are cheaper than banks.
Reliability
Do you want to buy something at midnight? Is there a person you want to send money to urgently? You can do this through Chura anytime of day or night. In case of any queries, you can always contact their 24/7 support team. The system here is very easy to use, even for the least tech savvy people.
Security
Chura cares for you and your money. They go out of their way to ensure that your money is absolutely safe and secure. The fact that transactions occur at lightning speed also removes the anxiety of waiting for long before getting your cash.
Other Services
Apart from PayPal to MPESA services, you can also access the following from Chura:
Sam and his team are also working on the following that are coming soon:
Conclusion

Well I never liked them, they has some issues on verifications and limits on how much to transact, like i could not transact over $20 on my first time with them or something. I am just glad that I successfully managed to link my card with equity and would wish every newbie does that. It’s the only option else people will keep been milked lots of dollars by these agents.
Thanks for your comment Sam. Such options are important for guys who are unable to wait for the three days to get their PayPal cash. Sometimes life happens and you need cash instantly. I was once an agent and I know why nowadays guys put limits, there are scammers out there who have put careless agents out of business. If you want to survive the agency business, security has to be your number one concern. I’m glad you’re happy with Equity. All the best in your online business.
Hi Walter, I opened a Paypal acct. I ve been trying to get some online work but the issue of account verification is a challenge. My details for this account- I live in US- so other details like -SSN, Bank details, phone are incomplete. Its like when I opened this account there was no option to input Kenya. I was trying to link my Equity bank account to paypal & the routing no. its asking for has 9 digits while equity gave me only 5- 68029, thus when entered it says not valid. I have some 39 USD that I want to withdraw and am thinking after that I close it n open another account where I can give my correct location(Kenya). Or is it possible to rectify these anomalies( Ive checked my dashboard over n over, Hamna!) can be rectified?
Hi Eli, this post seems old, but have you resolved the issue now?
I am using PayPal to Equity service and I have written articles about it.
In case you still have issues as explained above, the answer is:
Link the Visa card with PayPal not the account details.
Equity has a web page that guides you through all these steps; their self-service portal.
Let me know if you need more help. I can’t link my post here for some genuine reasons.

Hi Eli,
I believe we communicated on email.
What about uploading funds into a Skrill account. What is the safest and most effective method. Kindly help me out.
Hi Patrick. You can upload from a card.
Thank you for your consistency and selflessness. You will be rewarded right here on earth and you will get your Crown of Glory when you reach your destination.
I am glad that when I eventually need these wonderful services I will not have to reinvent the proverbial wheel.
Keep it up!

You’re always welcome Sharon. Sure, when you need these services you can get right on them 🙂 Stay blessed.
My journey with Paypal-Mpesa is funny. My first shot at it, the agent asked for so much in proving my identity, till I felt the 8 business days (Equity) were relatively shorter. I vowed not to use them again (but later I actually did). Then fate forced me to seek for the services and a friend vouched for chura despite the name. It was fast, but the low limits for first time users (don’t know if they’re still there) were hurting and expensive overall, I have used them thrice in total and I appreciate their place.
Quite a journey Kim. I believe all agents have some form of fraud prevention mechanism. Good to know you appreciate Chura’s services.
Besides PayPal to Mpesa, I use Chura Mostly for Purchasing of airtime. I just use Mpesa to buy Airtel airtime for bundles. I send 100/= via MPESA and get 100/= airtime.
The name chura made me laugh too like Akolo did and I had to ask them “why chura” and they replied that your money jumps from paypal to Mpesa and vice versa like “chura” when you use their services.
Wonderful, Thanks Walter for enlightening the mass. a good thing is good how?
Thanks Mathews. Yes they’re great for airtime too. Hahaha ? 😀 so I’m not the only one who laughed. Thanks for your comment once again and stay blessed.
Wow, good insights. Looking forward to deal with them.
Awesome. Thanks Imelda.
Thanks, Walter, for keeping us in the know about what makes life a bit more comfortable. You are unselfish, and always want the best for freelancers. Will chat some more next week, ok?
Remain blessed.
Hi Marrie. You’re always welcome. No need to be selfish in business. When everyone does well, the industry does well and we’re all happy. Sure, let’s chat more next week. Stay blessed too.
Yes they are fast, yes they are reliable but they are far to expensive. Withdrawing 10USD and getting Ksh 708 in your Mpesa is just too much.
True Alex. They are more expensive than, say Equity, which takes 3 days. However for instant services, they offer very competitive rates. As stated in the article, this is great for those who want the cash instantly. Also note that their current rates are 6.5% + 2USD, so what you receive gets better with the amount you withdraw. E.g. currently $10 would give you Ksh. 708 while $100 would give you Ksh. 8831. Once again, the rates are lower than Equity, but among the best for instant services.
Thanks Walter for this great 101 info. I knew about chura but never thought they could be that reliable. Am now enlightened and in case of need wont fail to contact them.
Hi Salim. I knew about it too for a while, just kept them somewhere at the back of my mind. It’s just recently that I’ve come to appreciate their utter awesomeness.
Good to note this Walter and thanks for the jewels of information as always
