Unranked — fee not published

This provider publishes a live exchange rate but doesn't disclose the transfer fee, so we can’t confirm the total cost or give it a rank. It is shown here for reference only.

WorldRemit does not publish its transfer fee, so the payout below is before any fee is deducted. This quote is ranked below every provider whose full cost we can confirm.

Also on this route, price not published

We track these providers but have no rate we can stand behind for this corridor, so we show no number and give them no place in the ranking above. Some may not serve this route at all. Check with them directly. The score beside each name is that provider’s app-store user rating, shown so the row still tells you something — it says nothing about their rate on this route.

Paid placement never affects the order of results — providers are always ranked purely by the effective rate your recipient receives.

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.

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.

How we rank

Providers are ordered by payout — the amount your recipient receives. Equal payouts are separated by the lower total cost to you, then alphabetically. Read the methodology.
