Tips for sending money from United States to Senegal
- 1
Use mobile money: to Senegal, money can be delivered straight to Wave, Orange Money. A mobile wallet works without a bank account.
- 2
Compare the margin on the exchange rate, not just the stated fees: that is where most of the cost sits. On the corridors we record, the best bank ranges from 0.6% to 5.2% of the amount sent โ sometimes cheaper than a specialist, sometimes not.
- 3
Cash pickup: Senegal has limited banking access (40% of adults have a bank account). Collecting cash at a branch is often the surest way to be paid โ check the service's agent network before sending.
- 4
Avoid sending at weekends: exchange rates are less favourable. Prefer business days for your transfers.
