Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send AED 25,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what AED 25,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.

The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.

When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more XAF per AED than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 5 of the last 30 days.

Right now, Regency FX pays 3,966,580.69 XAF on 25,000 AED, which is 10,738.76 XAF less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 4,006,347.73 XAF.

If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Cameroon.

We've tracked 238 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 8 amounts over the past month.

  1. Regency FXAppeared in 167 comparisons

    Cheapest in 80% of them

  2. TapTap SendAppeared in 227 comparisons

    Cheapest in 27% of them

Based on 238 comparisons across 8 amounts over the last 30 days.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today Regency FX is the cheapest and gets you the most XAF, and it was also the cheapest in 80% of the 167 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Cameroon.

TapTap Send (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 27% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Cameroon.

Ways to send money from the UAE to Cameroon

2 companies send money from the UAE to Cameroon, split between currency broker and app, and more.

For frequent transfers home

Money transfer apps

If you send XAF home monthly, money transfer apps like TapTap Send are the easiest with good AED/XAF rates.

Botim, Careem Pay, and e& money are convenient but TapTap Send is cheaper.

On an AED 25,000 transfer it will get you 3,917,250 XAF in minutes (after 0 fee and 1.52% markup).

Over the past month, TapTap Send was the cheapest app on 44% of the days it appeared for AED25,000 transfers.

You'll need your Emirates ID and a UAE number to register.

For small urgent transfers

Send now, pay later

You can send AED to Cameroon now, and pay for it in the coming weeks.

Botim and Payit are good options, but it’s a credit, so it costs more and you can’t miss any payments.

We’ve covered this in more detail in our Send Now, Pay Later guide.

For sending large amounts

Currency brokers

Brokers are great for international property, school fees abroad, or moving your savings home when you leave the UAE.

A broker like Regency FX charges no fee and adds 0.27% on AED/XAF exchange rate with someone on the phone guiding you through the process.

Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 100% of the transfers from AED 25,000 it quoted.

For UAE businesses trading abroad

Global accounts

Global accounts are for businesses, paying overseas suppliers, collecting from customers abroad, and holding a few currencies at once.

Companies like IFX, Sokin, VertoFX, or Wise Business can handle the batch payments, invoices and multi-currency balances.

Ways to deposit AED and receive XAF in Cameroon

With Regency FX, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending AED 25,000 gives your recipient 3,966,580.69 XAF.

You can pay in AED by bank transfer and debit card.

In Cameroon, the recipient can receive XAF through bank deposit and mobile money.

Before sending AED to Cameroon, consider this

The UAE has plenty of ways to send money, but the branch fee, exchange rate and ID checks can change what works best for you.

Compare AED/XAF transfer options

For an AED 25,000 transfer to Cameroon, the current options look like this.

  1. The cheapest option is Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 3,966,580.69 XAF, which is 1.24% more than the next best option.

  2. The fastest option is TapTap Send, funded by debit card with bank deposit in Cameroon. Your recipient gets 3,917,250 XAF in minutes.

You need Emirates ID

Banks, apps and exchange houses need to identify you.

Your Emirates ID and UAE mobile number normally cover a routine transfer, while a large or unusual payment can trigger questions about your salary and source of funds.

For property, tuition or moving savings when you leave the UAE, keep the sale agreement, school invoice or bank statement ready.

A transfer funded from your salary account is easier to explain than a large cash deposit made just before sending.

Use a licensed exchange house in UAE

Currency exchange and remittance services require a Central Bank of the UAE licence.

Check the legal name in the CBUAE licensing register before handing over cash or uploading your ID.

The CBUAE consumer standards require licensed companies to show the exchange rate and fees before the transfer, then include the amount received and complaint details on the receipt.

Avoid a personal bank account or WhatsApp dealer offering a better rate outside a licensed branch.

Cash rules are separate

The UAE's declaration rules for carrying cash across the border do not set a limit on an electronic transfer.

Your bank or exchange house can still set its own transaction limit and request additional documents.

If you send the same amount every month, complete the ID checks in the app or branch once and save the verified recipient.

This reduces mistakes without bypassing the checks on later transfers.

How we analyse the market

We track 2 licensed companies sending AED to Cameroon, refreshed in real time during live comparisons.

Because the dirham is fixed to the dollar, we compare on what arrives in XAF rather than on the fee, alongside the deposit and payout options.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 238 comparisons across 8 amounts.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for AED/XAF transfers. This is how we pick them:

  • Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.

  • Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.

Every company goes through our review before it appears.
