Common questions

What is the cheapest way to send money to West Africa?

It depends on the amount, how it is received and the day. Many apps charge no fee and keep a margin on the exchange rate, so compare the amount your recipient gets, not the fee.

Why does a provider show a different price on its own site?

Our prices are estimates, and providers change rates and run promotions. The provider’s checkout shows the final price, so check it before you send.

Why is the euro to CFA franc rate always the same?

The CFA franc is pegged to the euro at 655.957. Sending from another currency (the pound, the Canadian dollar, the Swiss franc, the US dollar...) still moves daily, because those currencies move against the euro.

Is mobile money faster than a bank transfer?

Usually. Mobile money and cash pick-up are often ready within minutes. A bank transfer can take from a few hours to several days.

Can I compare sending money from West Africa too?

Yes: 525 routes from West Africa to the 35 Western countries. Few providers send money from West Africa, so we list only the ones we could confirm: Western Union (from 15 of the 16 countries, not from Ghana) and Flutterwave Send (from Nigeria to the United States, the United Kingdom and 19 euro-area countries). Western Union’s prices there are estimates built from its other routes, and limits and rules depend on the sending country. Most routes therefore show a single offer.

Do you send the money?

No. We compare providers. You pay the provider you choose, on its own site or app.
