How your recipient gets paid in Senegal

Senegal has two wallets everyone knows: Wave, the blue app with the penguin that made sending money inside the country nearly free, and Orange Money, the long-established network from Orange Sénégal. AnyMoney pays into either, in West African CFA francs (XOF).

Wave

What you need

  • Your recipient’s number with a Wave account on it. Wave is not tied to a carrier, so any Senegalese line works.

  • Their name as registered on Wave.

  • The country code +221.

How it lands

The francs arrive in their Wave balance with an in-app notification. They can pay merchants and bills from Wave or cash out at any Wave agent, on Wave’s own terms.

Orange Money

What you need

  • An Orange Sénégal number registered for Orange Money in the recipient’s own name.

  • Their name as registered with Orange.

  • The country code +221.

How it lands

The francs arrive in the Orange Money wallet with an SMS. Your recipient can pay from the wallet or cash out at Orange Money agents; Orange’s tariffs apply to cash-outs.

Good to know

  • Ask which wallet your recipient actually uses. A payment to Wave does not reach an Orange Money balance, and vice versa.

  • Wave works on any carrier’s number; Orange Money needs an Orange line.

  • XOF is pegged to the euro, so the rate you see follows the dollar against the euro.

Sending to Senegal — common questions

How long does a transfer to Senegal take?
Depending on the payment method, transfers typically arrive within a few minutes or up to a few business days. You can track every step in the app until it lands.
What rate will I get?
The rate on this page is the app's rate at this very moment. We update rates regularly — because honoring the best rate on the market is our standing commitment.
How can my recipient receive the money?
Through the payout methods listed above. The app confirms availability for your exact recipient when you add them.
How much can I send?
Limits depend on your verification level, payment method, and destination — the app shows your exact limits during registration and in your dashboard.
Which is better, Wave or Orange Money?
Both are wallet payouts and follow the same delivery expectations. Choose the one your recipient already uses day to day; that is the one they will cash out from most easily.
Can I send to Free Money or a bank account in Senegal?
Not today. Wave and Orange Money are the live rails. The app lists the available options when you add a recipient.
