NationHela is an international money transfer service which was launched a few years ago by the Nation media group and Diamond trust bank. Originally, this service was first intended to facilitate the sending of money to and from the diaspora. Still, since it is also a visa card, it has additionally been adopted for use in the payment of services and goods.
