Is 47 seconds a promise?

It is a measurement: the median arrival for Rwandan payouts over our last 90 days of production transfers. Individual transfers vary, but Rwanda is consistently the fastest destination we run, quicker than any bank rail.

Are West African CFA francs and Rwandan francs related?

No. The West African CFA franc is pegged to the euro and shared across eight countries. The Rwandan franc floats and belongs to Rwanda alone. They share a name only, so this is a genuine conversion.

Does anyone need a bank account?

No. Côte d'Ivoire funds from mobile money and Rwanda pays out to mobile money, so the entire route runs on phone numbers.

How will they receive the money?

In their MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money wallet, with nothing to install. Their provider sends an SMS when it lands.

What does this money transfer cost?

The rate is shown before you send and the mobile money payout fee is FRw 200. Eversend to Eversend is free.

The short answer

Abidjan and Kigali sit at opposite ends of francophone Africa, and money between them used to mean a bank branch and a week. On Eversend it means your Ivorian mobile money wallet on one side, an MTN or Airtel wallet on the other, and about 47 seconds in between, the fastest arrival we measure anywhere. CFA francs convert to Rwandan francs once, at the rate on this page.
