Transfer details
For a one-off transfer to Ivory Coast, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is MoneyGram.
On a 1,500 GBP transfer, MoneyGram 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.
There are many ways to send money to Ivory Coast from the UK, including app, online, in person, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Ivory Coast, say weekly or monthly, an app like MoneyGram is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £4.99 in fees, has 0.82% 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 MoneyGram often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of 1 online services, MoneyGram is the cheapest and will get you CFA1,137,593.85 on £1,500 transfer.
For large transfers
Currency brokers like TorFX or Key Currency, are the best for sending large amounts (£10k+) to Ivory Coast.
They charge no fees but add a percentage on top of the GBP/XOF interbank rate (which gets better the more you send).
We suggest to compare your options.
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 CFA1,132,641 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.
Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much XOF 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 £1,500 to Ivory Coast is via MoneyGram, using a debit card to deposit GBP and bank deposit to receive XOF.
You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Ivory Coast, including debit card, bank transfer, and credit card.
The cheapest pay-in option is bank transfer.
The fastest option in the UK is almost always bank transfer, since most companies use Open Banking and Faster Payments System (FPS).
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 Ivory Coast by bank deposit, mobile wallet, cash pickup, and mobile money, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.
The cheapest way to receive money in Ivory Coast is with mobile wallet on average.
Receiving cash
MoneyGram is the cheapest option for cash pickup ( getting you CFA1,137,593.85 on £1,500 transfer).
Mobile wallets
You can receive XOF into a mobile wallet, which is useful since they don't need a bank account.

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 MoneyGram, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get CFA1,137,593.85, which is 0.44% 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 CFA1,132,500 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 CFA1,137,593.85 with MoneyGram will get you 1,137,593.85 XOF, that’s including £4.99 fee and 0.82% 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.
Mid-market rate:1 GBP = 764.57613 XOF
