SEVEN CURRENCIES. A DIRECT CONVERSATION.

Let's talk about
your African currency.

Paying a supplier, funding an operation or converting business income? Bring the currency, amount and direction of your payment to a specialist.

Funding from USD, EUR or GBP? Include that in your enquiry.

These are bespoke enquiry routes. Currency Solutions must confirm each currency, payment direction, applicant and product before a transaction can be arranged. A listed country does not guarantee local onboarding.

BUILT AROUND YOUR ORGANISATION

Payments with a purpose.

This Africa FX enquiry service is for organisations with commercial or charitable currency requirements.

LOOK BEYOND THE CURRENCY MENU

Coverage deserves
a closer look.

Some providers list only part of this currency set. Others list all seven. The next question is whether they can handle your organisation and your payment.

Wise

2 of these 7 listed

NGN and KES are listed for payouts. BWP, ZMW, MZN, RWF and MGA are absent from the published currency list.

Check Wise's list

Revolut Business

None appear on this transfer list. KES appears separately for holding and exchange; that is a different capability.

Xe

Published destination list

7 of these 7 listed

Discuss your route

Checked 16 September 2026. These are different providers' published transfer lists, not a ranking or a guarantee of onboarding. “Not listed” does not prove a provider can never arrange a payment. Currency Solutions' standard published list does not verify these seven routes; each needs individual confirmation. Revolut holding/exchange reference.

BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE

A few useful details.

Is this service for individuals?

This Africa FX enquiry service is aimed at companies, NGOs, charities and institutions. High-net-worth individuals may be considered case by case. Everyday personal transfers should use MTC's main comparison service. This describes the audience for this page, not Currency Solutions' entire customer base.

Can an organisation based in Africa apply?

You can enquire about requirements involving Nigeria, Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Kenya and Madagascar. Other African currencies may be available on request. Currency Solutions will need to confirm whether it can onboard an organisation registered in your country and support your specific transaction.

Can I pay in both directions or hedge these currencies?

Do not assume a payout route also supports collections, conversion in the reverse direction, or hedging. Ask the team to confirm the currencies, direction and product you need. Forward contracts and other risk-management products are available only for eligible clients and requirements.

Is this a bank account application?

No. This page introduces an FX and international payments enquiry. It does not promise a local bank account, deposit account or multicurrency account. If account details or collection facilities are part of your requirement, ask whether these are available before proceeding.

What will my exchange rate and fees be?

Request a current quote for your organisation's transaction. Compare the rate, fees, any receiving or intermediary bank charges, and the expected settlement date. No live or indicative exchange rates are displayed on this page.

MoneyTransferComparison is a comparison publisher. Currency Solutions assesses applications and provides any agreed service. Availability depends on your organisation, jurisdiction, currencies, payment purpose and the provider's checks.

Commercial disclosure: MTC may receive a referral fee through links on this page. Currency Solutions is not a bank. Read the provider's legal and regulatory information and applicable terms.
