        Money Transfers in Dakar: what to know

        Money transfer services let people in Dakar, Senegal send money abroad or receive it in XOF (West African CFA franc (pegged to the euro, issued by the BCEAO for UEMOA members)). The real cost is the fee plus the gap between the provider's exchange rate and the mid-market rate, so compare both.
