USD to XOF: What Our Records Show
Between 20 June 2026 and 18 October 2026, CheckRate recorded 75 days of USD to XOF rates with at least three providers. Remitly had the highest standard exchange rate on 57 days, LemFi on 15 days and Taptap Send on 3 days. Taptap Send had the lowest rate most often (60 days). Where two providers tied, both are counted.
On a typical day the gap between the highest and lowest rate was 1.48%, ranging from 0.26% to 1.99%. On a transfer of 500 US dollars, a 1.48% gap is worth about 7.40 US dollars in what your recipient gets. The highest daily rate moved between about 553 and 586 XOF per US dollar.
How we count: each provider's last recorded standard rate of the day. Wise is left out because it charges a separate fee that these records do not include, and Remitly's first-transfer promotional rate is left out. These are exchange rates only; a transfer fee can change which provider gives the most, which is why the table above works out the amount received. Our records have a gap in September 2026, when our rate collector was offline.
More on how CheckRate collects and checks rates is on the methodology page.
Quick Tips
- 1Always compare the estimated receive amount, not just the headline rate.
- 2Rates change daily. The best provider today may not be best tomorrow.
- 3Check how you will pay: some providers charge differently for card and bank payments, and the app shows this before you confirm.
- 4Check the recipient's details, such as the account number, before you send. A transfer to the wrong account can be hard to reverse.
Rates shown are the latest checked by CheckRate. Not guaranteed final transfer amounts. Always confirm on the provider's platform before sending.
Frequently Asked Questions: USD to XOF
Which providers does CheckRate compare for USD to XOF?
The comparison currently shows LemFi, Taptap Send and Remitly. A provider appears when its rate for this route has been collected within the last day, so the list can change. CheckRate is not paid by these providers.
Which provider pays the most CFA francs for US dollars?
It changes. In CheckRate's records from 20 June 2026 to 18 October 2026 (75 days), the highest standard exchange rate came from Remitly on 57 days, LemFi on 15 days and Taptap Send on 3 days. Wise and promotional first-transfer rates are not included, and a transfer fee can change the order, so compare the amount received on the day you send.
How much difference does the provider make on USD to XOF?
On a typical day in that period the highest rate was 1.48% above the lowest, and the gap ranged from 0.26% to 1.99%. On 500 US dollars, 1.48% is about 7.40 US dollars worth of CFA francs.
Does the table include fees?
Yes. Each row shows the fee CheckRate has on record and the estimated amount received after that fee. In the latest records for this route, LemFi, Taptap Send and Remitly showed no transfer fee. Fees can depend on the amount and how you pay, so the final figure is the one the provider shows before you confirm.
How can I check a provider is licensed to send money from the United States?
US money transmitters register with FinCEN and need a licence in each state they serve, which you can check on NMLS Consumer Access. When we checked (9 to 11 October 2026): LemFi's US company Pomelo Two US LLC (NMLS 2523778) held money transmitter licences in 15 states, and LemFi says a partner licensed institution provides the service elsewhere; TapTap Send Payments Co. (NMLS 2108069) showed 48 active state licences or registrations; Remitly, Inc. is listed in FinCEN's money services business search. Under the CFPB Remittance Rule you can usually cancel within 30 minutes for free, unless the money has already been picked up or deposited, and you have 180 days to report an error.
Is the CFA franc rate fixed?
The West African CFA franc (XOF) is pegged to the euro at 655.957 francs per euro. That fixes the official rate, not the rate a provider pays: each provider still sets its own rate and fee, so amounts received from euros can still differ, and from dollars or pounds the rate moves with the euro. XOF is used in Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo.
Does the US remittance tax apply to this transfer?
Only if you pay in cash or a similar physical instrument. The 1% federal remittance transfer tax that started on 1 January 2026 applies, according to IRS Notice 2025-55, only to transfers funded with cash, a money order, a cashier's check or a similar physical instrument. Proposed regulations published in April 2026 exclude transfers paid from a bank account or with a US-issued debit or credit card.
