Transfer details
For a one-off transfer to Ivory Coast, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is TapTap Send.
On a 1,500 GBP transfer, TapTap Send delivers the most XOF.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/XOF 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 £1,500 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.
How much GBP you send to Ivory Coast 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.

There are many ways to send money to Ivory Coast from the UK, including app, online, in person, broker, multi-currency account, global account, SNPL, and digital wallet, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Ivory Coast, say weekly or monthly, an app like TapTap Send is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has 0.8% markup, lets you save recipient details, and XOF will arrive in minutes.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized XOF transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like Xe often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of 1 online services, Xe is the cheapest and will get you CFA1,134,893.4 on £1,500 transfer.
For large transfers
Currency brokers like Xe 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 Ivory Coast, and 24/7 support.
Xe charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.85% markup on top of the current GBP/XOF 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 Ivory Coast, but is usually a bit more more expensive.
You will need to deposit £1,500 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Ivory Coast will be able to collect CFA1,132,240.5 in minutes.
For spending and receiving
Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend CFA Franc BCEAO abroad like a local.
Revolut offers the best multi-currency account.
With it, converting £1,500 to XOF will get you CFA1,130,044 after fees.
If you don’t have XOF in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Revolut in Ivory Coast.
Once you have XOF 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 Ivory Coast, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Ivory Coast such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for £1,500 transfer to Ivory Coast:
Cheapest way to send money to Ivory Coast
The cheapest way is to use TapTap Send, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via mobile money. You will get CFA1,135,500, which is 0.05% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Ivory Coast
The fastest way is to use TapTap Send via debit card deposit and mobile money for pay out. You get CFA1,135,500 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/XOF 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 CFA1,135,500 with TapTap Send will get you 1,135,500 XOF, that’s including £0 fee and 0.8% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you CFA0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Ivory Coast.
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 XOF you get for your GBP, so waiting a day or two can get you more CFA Franc BCEAO.
