What's the cheapest way to send money from Sao Tome and Principe to Senegal?

One of the most important things to watch out for is hidden fees when sending money to Senegal from Sao Tome and Principe. Most of the time, you will get ripped off if you have no choice, or very few choices. For instance, if you send money to Senegal using your bank, you are most likely paying high fees. You may also not be getting the best exchange rate on your CFA Franc BCEAO foreign exchange transaction.

RemitFinder partners with many money transfer companies that provide you with cheap options to ensure you get the best STD to Senegal exchange rate. The more choices you have, the better yield you get. This is because you can get creative with exchange rates and fees to determine the cheapest option for you. For instance, one company may be giving a very high rate but charging a steep fee as well, while another provider may have a slightly lower rate, but 0 fee. All of this also depends on how much amount you send.

How to send money to Senegal from Sao Tome and Principe through a bank?

We do not recommend using your local bank in Sao Tome and Principe for your next STD to XOF overseas funds transfer. The reason for this is that banks are known to give you worse exchange rates and yet charge high foreign exchange fees. That is a double whammy that will make the transaction much more expensive for you.

That said, there may be circumstances you may want to consider your bank for your international funds transfer. For example, if you need to move a very large sum of money from Sao Tome and Principe to Senegal (for property purchase, or any such high value transaction), and do not want smaller transactions. In such cases, be sure to carefully inspect all details of the remittance transaction that your bank offers you. You can use the RemitFinder remittance search engine to compare your bank's quote with many other money transfer companies to try to negotiate a better deal with your bank.

Notwithstanding any unique circumstances as above, you will generally save more by relying on online foreign exchange companies for sending XOF to Senegal. These companies will let you use your local bank account in Sao Tome and Principe to pay for your Senegal money transfer, but will likely save you a lot of money by affording better rates and citing lower foreign exchange transaction fees.


What is the fastest way to transfer money from Sao Tome and Principe to Senegal?

It could be a stressful experience if you need to rush money quickly from Sao Tome and Principe to Senegal. 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 STD 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 Sao Tome and Principe to Senegal money transfers.
