Transfer details
For a one-off transfer to Cameroon, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Regency FX.
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 both cheapest and quickest, since most companies connect straight into 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 £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.
There are many ways to send money to Cameroon from the UK, including app, broker, online, in person, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Cameroon, say weekly or monthly, an app like WorldRemit is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0.99 in fees, has 0.77% markup, lets you save recipient details, and XAF will arrive in minutes.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized XAF transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like MoneyGram often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of 1 online services, MoneyGram is the cheapest and will get you FCFA4,485,573 on £6,000 transfer.
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 24/7 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 .
For fast money transfers
Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Cameroon, but is usually a bit more more expensive.
You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Cameroon will be able to collect FCFA4,485,573 in minutes.
For spending and receiving
Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend CFA Franc BEAC abroad like a local.
Revolut offers the best multi-currency account.
With it, converting £6,000 to XAF will get you FCFA4,410,453 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).
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.
The overall best and cheapest way to send £6,000 to Cameroon is via Regency FX, using a bank transfer to deposit GBP and bank deposit to receive XAF.
You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Cameroon, including debit card, bank transfer, and credit card.
The cheapest pay-in option is bank transfer.

The most expensive deposit option is debit card.
Be careful with credit card deposits, since your bank often treats it as a cash advance and will charge interest.
Money can reach Cameroon by bank deposit, mobile money, and cash pickup, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.

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 £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 FCFA4,572,611.15, which is 0.52% 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 FCFA4,470,000 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.
That's anti-money-laundering checks, but it holds transfers up, so be prepared.
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending FCFA4,572,611.15 with Regency FX will get you 4,572,611.15 XAF, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you FCFA0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Cameroon.
And, regular gifts out of your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, no cap and no seven-year wait.
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.
For more information, check our guide to money transfer regulations in the UK.
The exchange rate you secure impacts how much XAF you get for your GBP, so waiting a day or two can get you more CFA Franc BEAC.
