Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Cameroon, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Regency FX.
Regency FX was the cheapest on 19 of the 19 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Cameroon.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Regency FX delivers the most XAF.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/XAF rate.
You have 3 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, and credit card.
Paying from your bank is usually the fastest, since most companies connect to your banking app via Open Banking.
Anywhere a debit card works, Apple Pay and Google Pay usually do too.
First time round you'll need to confirm your name, date of birth, address and a photo ID.
On a £6,000 transfer the verification is normally instant but can take a couple of hours.
How much GBP you send to Cameroon heavily affects the best ways and the cheapest options. Use the table below to check how the cheapest options change and how much more you'd get by comparing.
Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest in 100% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 100% of all the transfers it quoted.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send £6,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what £6,000 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 GBP than the mid-market rate can offer.
This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.
No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of XAF on every transfer from the UK.
Right now, Regency FX pays 4,699,553.53 XAF on 6,000 GBP, which is 12,723.15 XAF less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 4,706,183.47 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.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Cameroon.

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, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.
Xe (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 45% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Cameroon.
There are many ways to send money to Cameroon from the UK, including app, currency broker, online, in person, multi-currency account, and global business account, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Cameroon, say weekly or monthly, an app like Xe is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has 0.74% markup, lets you save recipient details, and XAF will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, Xe was the cheapest app on 100% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized XAF transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like Xe often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 7 companies we compared, Xe is the cheapest online service and will get you FCFA4,677,414 on a £6,000 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 27 of the 27 days it quoted.
For large transfers
Currency brokers like Regency FX are the best for £10,000+ transfers (things like house deposits, education fees, relocation, etc.).
You get a dedicated account manager to handle your transfer to Cameroon, and real human support.
Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/XAF rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .
Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 100% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.
For spending and receiving

Revolut offers the best multi-currency account.
With it, converting £6,000 to XAF will get you FCFA4,533,145 after fees.
If you don’t have XAF in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Revolut in Cameroon.
Once you have XAF in the account, there are no extra fees from Revolut for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).
Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.
For business transfers
Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Cameroon, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.
Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much XAF your recipient gets. Use the table below to see how different options change how much you pay and what they get.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Cameroon such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Cameroon:
Cheapest way to send money to Cameroon
The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get FCFA4,699,553.53, which is 0.47% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Cameroon
The fastest way is to use TapTap Send via debit card deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get FCFA4,647,000 and it will arrive in minutes.
There is no legal limit and no tax on sending your own money abroad.
Main hard limits come from your bank or money transfer company, often around £10,000 to £25,000 online (which you can usually increase in the app).
Also, the "£10,000 declaration" only applies to physically carrying cash through the border, not online transfers.
And on bigger GBP/XAF transfers (roughly £10,000 up) expect a source-of-funds check, such as a payslip or a statement.
These are anti-money-laundering checks, and they can hold your transfer up, so have the documents ready.
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending £6,000 with Regency FX will get you 4,699,553.53 XAF, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Cameroon.
And, regular gifts from your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, with no cap and no seven-year wait, as long as you can still cover your usual living costs.
Only ever use a provider authorised by the FCA, which you can check on the FCA register in under a minute.
The rules in place for any scams cover domestic pound transfers only, on a transfer abroad you're less protected.
Always confirm who you're really sending to before you send, because there's little recourse after.
