MyBank Limited, a prominent financial institution in Somalia, has announced the launch of a new service that revolutionizes the way its customers send money internationally. 

With the introduction of the "International Transfer" feature on the MyBank Application, customers can now easily and directly transfer funds to both banks in Kenya and M-Pesa, a popular mobile money service. 

This significant enhancement addresses a long-standing challenge faced by many users who previously had to endure lengthy processes to facilitate such transactions.
