Don't forget about taxes

The cheapest way to send money to UK from Ivory Coast is using MoneyGram cash transfer service.

While online transfers are usually cheaper, there are very few providers offering XOF to GBP transfers, making cash transfer through a MoneyGram Agent the most practical and affordable option available.

The overall cost of your transfer includes both the transfer fee (around 3 XOF per 150,000 XOF) and the exchange rate markup applied by MoneyGram.

These costs can vary depending on the branch location, payment method, and the amount you’re sending, so it’s always worth checking with your branch before making a transfer.

In most cases cash transfers with MoneyGram are instant, and your recipient will be able to collect GBP in minutes.

However, depending on how much you send, it can take a bit longer (up to a day) due to the processing time.

With the limited number of money transfer companies servicing XOF/GBP, cash transfer with MoneyGram is the fastest way.
