What details do I need from my recipient?

Their phone number and which wallet it runs, MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money. No account numbers, no branch codes.

What is the shilling to CFA franc rate?

The live rate for this corridor sits at the top of the page, refreshed within the last 30 minutes, and it is locked when you confirm.

Why does the receipt show francs and not shillings?

Cameroon uses the Central African CFA franc. Your shillings convert once at the shown rate, and the franc amount previewed is exactly what the wallet receives.

Who is Eversend regulated by?

Cogni Labs Ltd, Eversend's Ugandan entity, is authorised and regulated by the Bank of Uganda. Funds are safeguarded in segregated accounts.

The short answer

You can send Ugandan shillings to Cameroon with Eversend using nothing but two phone numbers: fund from MTN MoMo or Airtel Money on your side, and the CFA francs land in MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money on theirs, in about a minute and a half at the median. The UGX to XAF rate is shown before you confirm, and no bank is involved at any point unless you fund by bank transfer on the Ugandan side.
