Rates are timestamped, append-only observations of what each named provider quotes — not interpolated mids. Spread is basis points below the best IMTO quote on this corridor (0 = best), never measured against another type. vs Mid compares each quote to the independent open.er-api.com reference. A quote not checked in the last 24 hours sits below a divider with its check date: never ranked or marked Best, and left out of the median and the counts. After 7 days unchecked it drops off the page.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the CAD to KES exchange rate today?
- As of 15 Oct 2026, 06:20 UTC, the best IMTO rate Modan observed on CAD→KES is 93.8200 KES per CAD, quoted by Remitly. 7 providers quote this corridor: six IMTOs and a fintech & PSP, each ranked only among its own kind. A bank also quote it, on Pro and Max plans. Every quote on the page carries the time Modan last checked it.
- Which IMTO has the best CAD to KES rate?
- Remitly, at 93.8200 KES per CAD as of 15 Oct 2026, 06:20 UTC. "Best" is ranked among IMTOs still current (checked within the last 24 hours, with weekends not counted for banks, which publish on weekdays only); every other provider type is ranked among its own kind, never against IMTOs. Official and parallel reference prints are shown but never ranked.
- How is the spread on CAD→KES calculated?
- Spread is the distance in basis points between a provider's rate and the best current rate of the same provider type — and the same kind of price — on the corridor at that moment (0 bps = the best of its kind), so an IMTO is only ever measured against IMTOs. A quote with nothing of its kind to rank it against, or one that is no longer current, shows no spread. vs Mid is a separate measure: the distance from an independent mid-market reference (open.er-api.com) that is refreshed hourly.
- How do I get CAD to KES rates by API?
- Call GET https://modan.io/api/v1/rates?from=CAD&to=KES with an X-API-Key header, and add provider_type=imto (or fintech_psp, commercial_bank …) to ask for one kind of provider. A free key allows 25 requests a day and reads IMTO and fintech & PSP quotes; the other types need a Pro or Max key. The same data is available to AI agents through the MCP server at https://modan.io/api/mcp.
