The final amount your recipient gets when you send RWF to XOF is the most important number that matters. In other words, you should try to minimize the impact of fees and other hidden charges (bad exchange rate is one of them) to achieve the most cost effective cross border remittance.

Before the dawn of the modern internet era, traditional methods to send money from Rwanda to Gabon used to be banks, and small, local remittance players located in retail outlets and convenience stores. Unfortunately, all these options entail high fees and often provide low exchange rates - this results in an expensive money transfer whereby a big chunk of your hard earned money does not reach your recipient.

Should I use my bank to send money from Rwanda to Gabon?

Bank transfers have been a traditionally popular way to send money overseas from Rwanda to Gabon. But, with the explosion of so many Fintech startups specializing in remittances, it is worth asking yourself if you should still be using your bank for sending funds internationally.

In general, banks tend to charge much higher fees compared to newer remittance companies that specialize in online operations. It is also possible that the RWF to XOF exchange rate you get from your bank may not be the best. In fact, high fees and below par exchange rates are two of the most popular ways banks make money on remittances.

We, therefore, recommend that before you use your Rwanda bank for your Gabon money transfers, you explore various other options to carefully review your total cost (represented by transaction fees) as well as the exchange rate you will get. Combined, these two factors will have a direct impact on how much money your recipient gets from your transaction.


What is the fastest way to do a money transfer to Gabon from Rwanda?

It could be a stressful experience if you need to rush money quickly from Rwanda to Gabon. How do you decide which option to pick to ensure your funds arrive at the destination in the fastest possible way?

First, you should ensure that you are picking the right payment method to convert RWF to XOF. Most remittance companies will allow you to pay by cash, with credit or debit cards, via a direct bank transfer, through a wire transfer, and so on. Digital payment methods like wire transfers and bank transfers will certainly delay your transaction as compared to cash payments.

Similarly, on the receiving side, your recipient also has multiple options to collect their monies in CFA Franc BCEAO. The payout choices generally include cash pickup, direct bank transfer, loading up a mobile wallet, and mobile airtime top up. If transaction speed is important, you could choose cash pickup if the receiver can access a close by pickup location. Just be aware that the exchange rate on cash transactions may not be the best, and there is risk in handling cash, especially for larger amounts. Otherwise, a mobile airtime top up or a bank deposit may be the next fastest possible ways unless there are bank holidays going on.

Foreign exchange transaction speed also depends on some additional factors like transfer amount, compliance and regulatory processes and vary from provider to provider. Check out our remittance guide to answer any questions you may have on how remittances work in general, and what factors affect the speed of your Rwanda to Gabon money transfers.
