How do I send from Côte d'Ivoire to Cameroon?

Top up from your Ivorian mobile money wallet, pick Cameroon, and enter the amount and the recipient's phone number. Their MTN or Orange wallet is credited in about a minute and a half.

Why do banks charge so much for this route?

Because they bridge the two zones through the euro, converting twice and charging on each leg. Eversend prices it as one conversion, shown before you send.

What will my recipient get exactly?

Send money from Côte d'Ivoire to Cameroon.

The short answer

Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon both use a CFA franc, but not the same one: the West African and Central African francs are separate currencies that cannot circulate in each other's zones. Sending between them is a genuine cross-currency transfer, and banks route it through euros with fees on both legs. Eversend converts XOF to XAF once, funds from your Ivorian mobile money wallet, and pays MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money in Cameroon in about a minute and a half.

XOF → XAF questions.

No. A West African CFA note is not spendable in Cameroon, and the two zones' banking systems do not clear into each other. Moving value between them is a real transfer with a real conversion, which is what this corridor does at the rate shown.

One franc to the other, converted once.

Abidjan to Douala without the euro detour.
