Does anyone need a bank account?

No. This corridor runs wallet to wallet end to end. A Kenyan bank deposit is available as an option, but most transfers here never touch one.

The short answer

You can transfer Central African CFA francs to Kenya with Eversend, funded from MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money in Cameroon, and the shillings land in the recipient's M-Pesa in under two minutes at the median. Neither of you touches a bank: your side funds from a wallet, their side receives on the wallet Kenya runs on. The XAF to KES rate is shown before you confirm.
