What rate applies from CFA francs to shillings?

The live rate at the top of this page, refreshed within the last 30 minutes. What you preview is what lands.

Do I need a Senegalese bank account?

No. Funding is from your mobile money wallet, and the payout side needs only the recipient's phone number.

How long does it take end to end?

Under two minutes at the median for M-Pesa payouts, measured over our last 90 days. Your first transfer adds one-time identity verification.

What if my recipient prefers a bank deposit?

Kenyan bank accounts are supported too, at about the same speed, for a fee of KSh 110 shown before you confirm.

Send money from Senegal to Kenya.

The short answer

You can pay someone in Kenya straight from your Wave or Orange Money balance in Senegal. Eversend converts your CFA francs once and credits their M-Pesa in under two minutes at the median, with the KES amount shown before you send. Two wallet systems that have no connection to each other, bridged with one conversion.
