Apps — naira in, West African CFA franc out to a bank or wallet where supported.
Bank transfer for documented purposes such as trade, tuition or travel.
An FX partner for larger, business-size payments.

Rate and documentation

The CFA is pegged to the euro, so your naira-to-CFA rate tracks the euro and the naira — the same mechanics as the Benin and Togo corridors. Compare the CFA delivered carefully.
