About the Central African CFA Franc

The Central African CFA Franc (XAF, FCFA) is the official currency of the six CEMAC member states — Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. It is issued by the Bank of Central African States (BEAC) and pegged to the Euro at the fixed rate of 655.957 XAF per 1 EUR. The CFA is theoretically subdivided into 100 centimes, though the centime is no longer in active use. Despite sharing the CFA name, the XAF and the West African XOF are not interchangeable: cross-border payments between the two zones require an FX conversion at the BEAC-BCEAO interbank rate. For mobile-money inflows to MTN MoMo Cameroon and Orange Money in the CEMAC zone, EUR-to-XAF flows benefit from the fixed peg, while USD and GBP flows must cross EUR before converting.

About the US Dollar

The US Dollar (USD, $) is the world's primary reserve currency and the de facto reference rate for most African remittance pricing. It is issued by the Federal Reserve System and subdivided into 100 cents. For African corridors, the USD plays two distinct roles: as the on-the-wire settlement currency that originating remittance providers use to hedge between markets, and as the unit of account that diaspora senders most often think in. When operators quote a USD-to-local-currency rate, the difference between that rate and the interbank mid-market — the spread — is where most of the corridor's cost is hidden, often dwarfing the visible send fee. For receivers in countries with thin USD interbank markets such as Sierra Leone or Mozambique, the published rate can lag the interbank reference by several percentage points.
