Sending money to Benin
Benin uses the West African CFA Franc (XOF), shared with Senegal, Togo, Burkina Faso, and four other WAEMU nations. XOF is pegged to the Euro at a fixed rate, so for EUR senders the key comparison is the transfer fee. CheckRate tracks Lemfi, Taptap Send, and Remitly so you find the best deal for your transfer to Benin.
Rates shown are the latest checked by CheckRate and updated every hour. Always confirm the final rate and fees on the provider's platform before sending. CheckRate does not handle your money — we compare so you can decide.
