One possible approach that will help you send money fast to Equatorial Guinea from Somalia is to rely on cash as payment as well as delivery method. This would mean paying for your transfer with cash, most likely by walking into your provider's office or agent location. Similarly, your recipient could also pick up cash in Equatorial Guinea if they have a pickup location nearby. Dealing with cash on both sides will eliminate bank transfers in the middle which generally take longer as money has to move between banks.

These methods would be faster than Somalia bank to Equatorial Guinea bank transfer.
