Sending money to the United States can be an expensive business, more so if you aren’t even aware of all the hidden fees. Money transfer companies and banks profit by charging you fees and a normally hidden margin on the exchange rate.
Using your Bank to make international wire transfers to India can be especially expensive – often 5% to 10% worse than using a foreign exchange specialist to send to the United States bank accounts or pay a US dollar invoice.

XAF to USD at 0.001775 is near its 3-month average, having traded in a very stable 2.7% range from 0.001750 to 0.001797
Bias
USD/XAF: range-bound near the 90-day avg in the middle of the 3-month range. A softer dollar could ease the pair toward the lower end as Fed easing is expected in 2026 and BEAC tightens to defend reserves.
Key drivers
- Rate gap: The USD central bank is expected to ease in 2026 while BEAC tightened to defend foreign reserves, narrowing the policy gap and limiting USD upside against XAF. A softer dollar could ease pressures on the pair.
- Macro factor: BEAC tightened policy amid falling reserves to support the CFA franc. The move underscores CFA resilience in a tighter funding backdrop and may help XAF if external liquidity stays cautious.
Range
The pair is likely to hold inside the recent 3-month range, with light drift around current levels. This suggests a quiet inter-day rhythm as traders await next cues on Fed and BEAC policy.
What could change it
- Upside risk: A stronger US payrolls release or a hawkish Fed tone could lift the dollar further, pushing USD/XAF toward the upper end of the range.
- Downside risk: Clear signals from BEAC of further tightening or stronger CFA support measures could lift XAF and push the pair toward the lower end of the range
