How to send money from US to Senegal

Pick a company

If you're sending a one-off transfer, then TapTap Send is the best option.

TapTap Send was the cheapest on 22 of the 30 days it quoted $7,000 transfers to Senegal.

For recurring transfers, I'd suggest using an app like TapTap Send or a multi-currency account.

For large transfers, a broker like Regency FX is the best option.

If your recipient needs cash, MoneyGram is the cheapest.

How much you send will affect the best option for you right now.

Pay for it

You have 4 ways to pay for your transfer to Senegal, including debit card, bank transfer, credit card, and cash deposit.

Usually, using bank transfer to fund your transfer is the cheapest but slowest option (ACH and takes a few days).

You can use a debit card, Apple Pay and Google Pay for quicker deposit but it's a bit more expensive.

I suggest avoiding credit cards since these are most expensive and have cash advance fees (Amex is very rarely accepted in general).

Check and send

First time round you'll need to confirm who you are.

An SSN isn't required, an ITIN or a foreign passport works with most companies here.

Compare amounts

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.

Understanding USD/XOF exchange rate

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 XOF per USD 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 28 of the last 30 days.

Right now, TapTap Send pays 4,130,000 XOF on 7,000 USD, which is 40,163.56 XOF 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 4,172,000 XOF.

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 Senegal.

We've tracked 240 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 8 amounts over the past month.

  1. TapTap SendAppeared in 240 comparisons

    Cheapest in 65% of them

  2. MoneyGramAppeared in 238 comparisons

    Cheapest in 20% of them

  3. Regency FXAppeared in 150 comparisons

    Cheapest in 5% of them

Based on 240 comparisons across 8 amounts over the last 30 days.

Is the cheapest money transfer company always the best?

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 analyze companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today TapTap Send is the cheapest and gets you the most XOF, and it was also the cheapest in 65% of the 240 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Senegal.

MoneyGram (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 20% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Senegal.

Ways to send money from the US to Senegal

There are 7 companies available for sending money from the US to Senegal, across app, online, currency broker, in person, multi-currency account, and global business account, and more.

For regular transfers home

Money transfer apps

If you send a few hundred dollars home every payday, an app is usually the cheapest way and the least work.

TapTap Send charges $0 on a $7,000 transfer with -0.98% markup, saves your recipient's details for next time, and XOF arrives in minutes.

Over the past month, TapTap Send was the cheapest app on 73% of the days it appeared for $7,000 transfers.

Funding from a US bank account or debit card avoids the 1% federal tax that applies to cash-funded transfers.

Sending without a US bank account

Cash & in-person transfers

Paying in cash at an agent can work without a US bank account.

The ID accepted depends on the company and the amount, so check before visiting if you do not have an SSN.

Hand $7,000 to a MoneyGram agent in the US, and your recipient will get 4,114,050.50 XOF in minutes - 24 hours.

Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 100% of days in the past month.

However, transfers funded with cash or a money order carry a 1% federal tax since January 1, 2026. To avoid it, fund with a debit card or bank account instead (most agents take both).

For one-off transfers

Online transfers

For a one-off transfer, an online service funded from your checking account is usually the cheapest way to send money to Senegal.

Of all online companies listed here, MoneyGram gets you the most XOF per USD.

On a $7,000 transfer, you will get 4,114,050.50 XOF after a $1.99 fee and -0.59% markup.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 29 of the 29 days it quoted.

But, bank funding (ACH) takes 1 to 3 business days to clear, while debit cards (and Google Pay/Apple Pay) are usually instant but cost a bit more.

For transfers over $10,000

Currency brokers

For large transfers to Senegal (e.g. a property purchase, tuition, or moving to Senegal), a broker like Regency FX charges no fee, gives you a dedicated account manager, and adds 0.27% markup on USD/XOF that gets lower the more you send.

Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 95% of the transfers from $5,000 it quoted.

Business payments from the US

Global accounts

Global accounts are for US businesses paying people abroad.

Companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle the recurring and batch payments, invoicing, tracking, and more.

Holding & spending currencies

Multi-currency accounts

A multi-currency account like Revolut is the best for holding and receiving XOF.

This is useful for traveling to Senegal, building up XOF balance, or receiving payments in XOF.

Revolut converts $7,000 at 0.77% markup plus small fee and holds the XOF until you spend it.

Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.

Ways to fund USD and receive XOF in Senegal

With TapTap Send, paying by debit card and receiving through cash pickup is the cheapest combination. Sending $7,000 gives your recipient 4,130,000 XOF.

Deposit USD by debit card, bank transfer, credit card, and cash deposit.

The simplest way is to pay from your US checking account

Pay by bank transfer using your routing and account numbers.

An ACH payment is usually cheaper than a card, but it may take some time for it to clear before a money transfer company can send the money to Senegal.

You can deposit cash

You'll need to visit the nearest MoneyGram branch and hand over $7,000.

MoneyGram is the cheapest option and will get you 4,114,050.50 XOF on a $7,000 transfer after fees.

Transfers funded with physical cash are subject to the 1% US remittance transfer tax, but funding from a US bank account or with a US-issued debit or credit card is exempt.

Zelle and Cash App only send money within the US, so neither can send money to Senegal.

Venmo now sends money internationally to PayPal users in 90+ countries.

Your recipient in Senegal can collect XOF through bank deposit, mobile money, cash pickup, and mobile wallet.

They can collect cash in Senegal

Your recipient can collect XOF from a participating MoneyGram location in Senegal.

They should take a valid photo ID and the collection reference, and check that the name on the transfer matches their ID.

Things to consider before sending USD to Senegal

The way you fund the transfer now affects the tax, while US law gives you specific rights if something goes wrong.

Find the right USD/XOF company

Cheapest way to send money to Senegal

The cheapest option is TapTap Send, funded by debit card with cash pickup for the payout. Your recipient gets 4,130,000 XOF, which is 0.39% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Senegal

The fastest option is TapTap Send. Pay by debit card and choose cash pickup for the payout. Your recipient gets 4,130,000 XOF, with the money arriving in minutes.

Cash-funded transfers now carry a 1% tax

Since January 1, 2026, a 1% federal tax applies when an international transfer is funded with cash, a money order, a cashier's check or a traveler's check.

Funding from a US bank account, including ACH, or with a US-issued debit or credit card is exempt.

The rule applies to how you pay in, so your recipient can still collect cash without triggering the tax.

The $10,000 rule is not a transfer limit

There is no federal cap on how much of your own money you can send electronically abroad.

Your bank or transfer company can set its own limit and ask for proof of where a large or unusual payment came from.

Cash reports and the declaration for physically carrying more than $10,000 across the US border are separate rules.

Do not split cash transactions to avoid a report.

You normally have 30 minutes to cancel

The US Remittance Transfer Rule requires a covered company to show the exchange rate, fees and expected amount received before you pay.

You can normally cancel within 30 minutes at no charge, provided the money has not been deposited or collected.

You also have error-resolution rights if the wrong amount arrives or the transfer never turns up.

Contact the company first and keep the receipt.

The CFPB explains the cancellation and error process.

Need to send a large amount of USD to Senegal?

For transfers over $10,000, Regency FX is the best option.

It offers the best exchange rate, which is more important than the fee for large transfers to Senegal.

While Regency FX may not always be the cheapest or fastest way to send XOF, they offer years of experience, and will offer you the peace of mind you need when sending large amounts abroad.

How we analyze the market

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for USD/XOF 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.
