Are Rwandan francs and CFA francs the same?

No. They share a name only. The Rwandan franc floats; the Central African CFA franc is pegged to the euro. This transfer converts between them once, at the rate shown on this page.

Top up from MTN or Airtel in Rwanda, pick Cameroon, enter the amount and their phone number, and confirm at the previewed rate.

What does the transfer cost?

The rate is shown before you send and the mobile money payout fee is 0.54%. Sending to another Eversend wallet is free.

Can they send money back to Rwanda?

Yes. Cameroon to Rwanda runs on its own corridor, landing in Rwandan wallets in about 47 seconds, the fastest payout we measure.
