How to send money from Spain to Cameroon

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer from Spain to Cameroon, I suggest picking MoneyGram, it will get you the most XAF.

MoneyGram was the cheapest on 24 of the 26 days it quoted €7,000 transfers to Cameroon.

The best option will change depending on the amount, so it's good to to get the best EUR/XAF rate today.

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, and credit card.

Bizum only works between Spanish accounts and caps at €1,000 per transfer (some banks set it lower), which is why these companies exist in the first place.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need your DNI, or your NIE if you're not Spanish, and a proof of address.

An empadronamiento certificate covers the address if you don't have a bill in your name yet.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send €7,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what €7,000 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 EUR 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 25 of the last 30 days.

Right now, MoneyGram pays 4,591,699.70 XAF on 7,000 EUR, which is 0.70 XAF more than the mid-market amount, so it's a good deal (pretty much free money).

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 4,591,720 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.

If you need to send money now, it's a good time to send.

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 178 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 6 amounts over the past month.

  1. MoneyGramAppeared in 171 comparisons

    Cheapest in 47% of them

  2. TapTap SendAppeared in 170 comparisons

    Cheapest in 2% of them

  3. SendwaveAppeared in 116 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

Based on 178 comparisons across 6 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 MoneyGram is the cheapest and gets you the most XAF, but it was the cheapest in only 47% of the 171 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

TapTap Send (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 2% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Cameroon.

If it's a one-off transfer, go with MoneyGram, since it's the cheapest right now.

You can pay for the transfers via debit card, bank transfer, and credit card, but Bizum is usually not accepted as a funding method.

Pay MoneyGram the €7,000 by card or transferencia, and they can collect cash in Cameroon.

Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 92% of days in the past month.

Cash transfers are faster than online methods, but usually more expensive, so .

For one-off transfers

For getting paid and spending abroad

Multi-currency accounts

If you often receive XAF (things like pensions, payments, salary, dividends, etc…), this is the best way to do it.

Because a multi-currency account gives you account details to receive XAF like a local and you can exchange it to EUR at any time.

The best multi-currency account in Spain with XAF support is offered by Revolut.

What to consider when sending money from Spain

Here are a few things to know before sending money from Spain to Cameroon.

Find the best EUR/XAF transfer

These are the current best options for sending €7,000 to Cameroon:

Cheapest option

Use MoneyGram, pay by debit card and choose mobile wallet for the payout. Your recipient gets 4,591,699.70 XAF, which is 0% more than the next best option.

Fastest option

With TapTap Send, a debit card payment to bank deposit gives your recipient 4,591,699 XAF, and its delivery time is minutes.

SEPA & XAF are different

SEPA and SEPA Instant only work with euro payments, and Bizum largely operates in Spain.

Sending EUR to Cameroon is different because it needs a currency conversion.

SEPA or SEPA Instant can be used to fund the transfer itself (since both are in EUR), but it does not guarantee instant transfer to Cameroon.

Expect questions on a large payment

Your bank or transfer company can ask for a justificante showing the source and purpose of a large or unusual transfer.

Keep the sale agreement for property, an invoice for tuition or a bank statement for savings.

Ask your bank to raise its own online transfer limit before the payment is due, rather than splitting a payment to avoid a check.

Staying safe when sending money

A payment or electronic-money institution is not the same as a bank, so do not assume its stored balance has bank deposit protection.

For bank deposits, protection normally comes from the deposit guarantee scheme in the bank's home country.

For a transfer service, check how customer money is safeguarded and avoid leaving a large balance there longer than needed.

When in doubt, use the Banco de Espana register to check the legal entity behind a transfer service.

How we analyse the market

Every company here is authorised to operate in Spain, and you can check any of them on the Banco de España register yourself. We track 7 of them on EUR to XAF, comparing fees, rates and the ways money can be paid in and collected. In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 178 comparisons across 6 amounts.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for EUR/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.

Pricing mostly comes straight from the companies, and anything we collect by hand is marked in the table.
