What's the cheapest way to send money from Kenya to Central African Republic?

What is the fastest way to do a money transfer to Central African Republic from Kenya?

If you need to convert KES to XOF as fast as possible, there are definite steps you can take that will help you do so. You could pay for your transfer with cash, as well as have your recipient do a cash pickup for payout - both of these methods will speed up your money transfer.

That said, handling cash could be a safety issue given that both the sender and receiver have to physically carry cash (most agent locations are located in physical stores, malls, and retail outlets which may or may not be in a physically safer area). Additionally, due to the extra costs involved to set up and maintain physical locations, cash transactions tend to get a worse foresign exchange rate (contrasted with online/digital transfers). So, another option to move money quickly from Kenya to Central African Republic could be sending it to a mobile wallet. This would entail some slowness compared to cash transfers, but would be more safe.

Apart from the above, there are many other factors that can have an impact on your Kenyan Shilling to CFA Franc BCEAO funds transfer speed.
