About the British Pound
The British Pound (GBP, £) is the official currency of the United Kingdom and the primary currency in which the UK-based African diaspora earns and sends. Issued by the Bank of England, the Pound is subdivided into 100 pence. The UK is one of the three largest remittance source markets for Africa, channelling several billion pounds a year primarily to Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Somalia, and Zimbabwe. After the 2016 Brexit referendum the GBP traded substantially weaker against both USD and EUR, which compressed remittance values when measured in either dollars or recipient local currency. Mobile-first remitters serving the UK-Africa corridor — Sendwave, LemFi, TapTap Send, Lemonade Finance — typically post a GBP rate within 0.5%–2% of interbank, with the fee structure varying by amount and destination.
About the West African CFA Franc
The West African CFA Franc (XOF, FCFA) is the official currency of the eight UEMOA member states — Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Togo, Niger and Guinea-Bissau. It is issued by the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) and pegged to the Euro at the fixed rate of 655.957 XOF per 1 EUR — the same parity as the Central African XAF, though the two are not interchangeable. The fixed peg has held continuously since the Euro's launch in 1999. Since 30 September 2025, BCEAO's PI-SPI regional instant-payment system has made individual transfers free and instant across all 8 UEMOA wallets, dramatically reducing the cost of remitting XOF within the union for ordinary users. EUR-XOF flows from the French, Belgian and Italian diaspora are by far the largest UEMOA inbound corridor.
