Sierra Leone uses the new leone (SLE), introduced in 2022 at 1,000 old leones (SLL) to one new leone. CheckRate shows rates in new leones. A handful of providers cover Sierra Leone; the route pages show how often each one had the highest rate in our records. Payout options differ by provider, so check the recipient options in the app before you send.
Rates shown are the latest checked by CheckRate. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions: Sending Money to Sierra Leone
Which providers does CheckRate compare for sending money to Sierra Leone?
From Canada (CAD): Sendwave, Remitly, Wise and Taptap Send. From the UK (GBP): Taptap Send, Wise, Sendwave and Remitly. From the US (USD): Taptap Send, Wise, Sendwave and Remitly. From Europe (EUR): Taptap Send, Sendwave, Wise and Remitly. A provider appears when its rate for that route has been collected within the last day, so the lists can change. CheckRate is not paid by these providers.
Which provider pays the most leones?
It depends on where you send from, and it changes. In CheckRate's records for the last 120 days (only days with at least three providers, Wise and promotional rates excluded), from Canada (CAD), Remitly had the highest standard rate on 64 of 75 days; from the UK (GBP), Sendwave had the highest standard rate on 60 of 75 days; from the US (USD), Sendwave had the highest standard rate on 73 of 75 days; from Europe (EUR), Sendwave had the highest standard rate on 47 of 75 days. A transfer fee can change the order, so compare the amount received on the day you send.
Which leone will my recipient get?
Sierra Leone redenominated its currency in 2022: one new leone (SLE) equals 1,000 old leones (SLL). Rates on CheckRate are in new leones (SLE). If a quote looks 1,000 times too high or too low, check which unit it uses.
Why do providers pay different amounts for the same transfer?
Each provider sets its own exchange rate, which is usually below the mid-market rate, and some add a transfer fee. CheckRate shows the estimated amount received after the fee we have on record, so you can compare like with like. The provider's app shows the final figure before you confirm.
