Question 1

How do I send money to Senegal?

Accepted Answer

There are several options for securely sending money to family, friends, or business associates in Senegal. The best choice for you will depend on your country of residence, your payment method, the transfer speed, and your recipient's location in Senegal.  • International bank transfer: This remittance option is a type of wire transfer that allows your bank to carry out your request to wire money from your checking or savings account to your recipient’s bank account in another country. Typically, this transfer process requires that you provide the recipient's international bank account number (IBAN) and SWIFT/BIC code. However, bank transfers are unsuited for fast money transfers to Senegal since they can take a few days to complete. Also, international bank transfers rely on you and your recipient having bank accounts.  • Money transfer agents: These agents traditionally act as third parties in arranging and paying for your money transfer. They can often help you send money to your recipient in a shorter period than a bank transfer. However, traditional transfer agents typically charge high fees and offer sub-par exchange rates.  • International money orders: Just as you would with a personal check, you can mail a prepaid international money order to your recipient, who can cash it for CFA francs (XOF) in Senegal. The problem with this remittance method is it involves a slow international mail service that also has the potential of losing your money order in the mail. For these reasons, your recipient in Senegal could be in for a long wait.  • Ria: This online remittance service provides an affordable, easy, and secure way to send money to your recipient in Senegal in several convenient ways. You can also send money to recipients in over 165 countries globally. Through Ria, your Senegal money transfer could reach your recipient as fast as 15 minutes, depending on your funding choice for the transaction.

Question 2

How long does it take to send money to Senegal?

Accepted Answer

It can take anywhere from a few minutes to five business days to send money to an overseas location — including Senegal. However, how long it takes depends on several factors, such as:  1. Transaction type2. Payment method3. Where you’re sending money from4. Whether Ria requires additional information for security purposes5. When you initiate the transfer  Some currencies or transfer methods are only available during local business hours. If you set up a Senegal remittance outside of typical business hours, on a holiday, or on the weekend, you could experience delays.  If you’re looking for the fastest way to send money to Senegal, you may want to use a debit or credit card for your transaction. These methods may incur additional fees, so be aware of that. However, they also typically finalize the same day they’re completed — sometimes within minutes -meaning your recipient could have the money almost immediately.  And if time isn’t a concern, consider setting up a bank transfer instead. This option usually takes three to five business days and comes with fewer fees.

Question 3

How much does it cost to send money to Senegal?

Accepted Answer

The cost of sending money to Senegal depends on several key factors, such as:  1. The payment method you use2. The payout method (that is, the way your intended recipient gets the money)3. Transfer amount4. Currency exchange rates  Bank remittances are usually the cheapest option, while credit and debit card transfers can come with additional fees.

We do that by working with financial institutions worldwide to get you the lowest possible fees and best exchange rates.
