Buying Stars in Kenya

M-Pesa is not a Telegram payment method — buy through Fragment.

The gap between the two routes is real money: on 1,000 Stars it is KSh 782.28. On 10,000 Stars it is KSh 7,822.82.

The cheapest way to buy Stars

Cashing out to KES

TON to KES on Binance P2P, straight out to M-Pesa.

Telegram pays withdrawals in TON at a US dollar rate, so your KES total depends on the USD/KES rate on the day you sell. Minimum payout is 1,000 earned Stars, worth about KSh 1,682.92.

FAQ

Telegram Stars and KES, answered

How much is 1 Telegram Star in shillings?

One Star costs about KSh 1.83 on the web and KSh 2.61 in the mobile apps. On the payout side, Telegram pays about KSh 1.68 per earned Star. Because Telegram sets its rates in US dollars, the KES figure moves with the USD/KES exchange rate rather than with anything Telegram does.

How much is 1,000 Telegram Stars in KES?

Buying 1,000 Stars costs roughly KSh 1,825.33 on the web or KSh 2,607.61 through an app store. Withdrawing 1,000 earned Stars pays about KSh 1,682.92 at Telegram's published rate. That is also the withdrawal minimum, so 1,000 Stars is the first point at which a payout is possible.

How do I buy Telegram Stars in Kenya?

M-Pesa is not a Telegram payment method — buy through Fragment. Buying on the web or through Fragment avoids the app-store markup, which is worth about KSh 782.28 on every 1,000 Stars.

How do I turn Telegram Stars into shillings?

Withdraw earned Stars through Fragment to receive TON, then convert. TON to KES on Binance P2P, straight out to M-Pesa. Telegram requires a minimum balance — reported as 1,000 earned Stars — before a withdrawal can start.

Does the Kenyan Shilling rate for Stars change?

The dollar rate does not — Telegram has kept the withdraw rate at $0.013 per Star. The KES figure changes daily with the exchange rate. We refresh mid-market FX every six hours, so the board reflects today's rate rather than the rate on the day Telegram set its price.
