Foreign exchange rates are highly volatile, and it may seem difficult to decide the best timing for your next transfer to Rwanda from Somalia. Another added complexity is the multitude of choices at your disposal - ranging from your bank, to established operators like WesterUnion and Moneygram, to so many remittance startups and companies, to multi currency bank accounts.

What's the cheapest way to transfer money from Somalia to Rwanda?

Finding the cheapest way to send money from Somalia to Rwanda might not be that easy given the umpteen choices available. You have to look at various parameters like exchange rates and fees to determine if the cost of one money transfer operator is less than that of another or not.

It may also be tempting to use some of the traditional funds transfer services like foreign currency exchanges or operators located in shopping malls, grocery stores and other local outlets. While you can certainly transfer SOS to RWF via these channels, they may not be the most economical way to send money internationally. Typically, brick and mortar services charge higher fees and may also provide lower rates. All this contributes to making your foreign exchange transfer more expensive.

Online money transfers tend to be more cost effective, and RemitFinder provides you quite a number of good choices to ensure you are able to get optimum Somalia to Rwanda exchange rate. Many of our partners also provide promotions and offers that are exclusive to our customers; availing these will definitely reduce the cost of your foreign exchange transaction further.


How to send money from Somalia to Rwanda through a bank?

We do not recommend using your local bank in Somalia for your next SOS to RWF 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 Somalia to Rwanda (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 RWF to Rwanda. These companies will let you use your local bank account in Somalia to pay for your Rwanda 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 Somalia to Rwanda?

It could be a stressful experience if you need to rush money quickly from Somalia to Rwanda. 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 SOS to RWF. 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 Rwandan Franc. 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 Somalia to Rwanda money transfers.

Another factor that may help you decide which provider to go with would be any coupons and deals available for Somali Shilling to Rwandan Franc money transfers. Availing promotions is a sure shot way to help reduce your cost, and should be part of the criteria to decide which are your top candidates for sending money to Rwanda.


Step by step guide to transfer money to Rwanda from Somalia

Follow the below easy steps to send money to Rwanda from Somalia.

  • If you are sending money for the first time with a provider, register an account with them. You will likely get a validation email, and optionally a validation text on your mobile as well. This ensures that it is indeed you who is creating your account.
  • You will also need to provide your national ID with a photo, and proof of address. Providing this information ensures the security of your account and helps in fraud prevention.
  • Add your payment method - this is how you pay for your transfer. Generally, you would want to use your Somalia bank account to fund your transaction.
  • Add your recipient - provide details about who will receive the funds (can also be your own account in Rwanda).
  • Specify delivery method - specify how the recipient will get the proceeds. Choosing a bank account is usually the best, if one is available.
  • Add the transfer amount and start the transaction.

The provider will then work on your SOS to RWF remittance, and you should not have any additional action to take. Keep an eye on your email inbox as you should get notified about the progress of your transaction.

Whilst it's fairly straightforward to make an actual foreign exchange transaction online, the harder part may be choosing the right company for your overseas bank transfer. This is where you can rely on RemitFinder's expertise in the money transfer space to help you select the best remittance provider.
