Compare transfer rates
Every provider, ranked by the true effective rate — the amount your recipient actually receives for what you pay. Adjust the amount, funding and payout method to match how you send.
BestAfricanFX may earn a commission when you click through to a provider or complete a transfer that originates from us. This never affects our comparisons — they are ordered solely by the effective rate you actually receive, and nobody can pay us to rank higher.

Built from 9 genuine six-hourly readings. “Movement” compares each provider’s earliest readings in the window with its latest; “consistency” is how much its rank swings (smaller = steadier). “Gap to official” is the average distance between the provider’s effective rate and the government rate over the window — smaller means it hugs the official rate more closely.

Every effort has been made to ensure accurate rates for each provider. However, rates and individual company policies are subject to change multiple times a day. Always confirm the final rate, fees and delivery time on the provider’s own website before sending money. BestAfricanFX does not hold, transfer or convert funds. We compare a finite sample of providers, so we cannot guarantee these are the best rates available anywhere. Use of this service implies acceptance of our Terms & Conditions.
