How to send money to Senegal
Around 5% of Senegal’s population travel abroad to live and work, regularly sending money back home to support their loved ones. The Senegalese capital Dakar is the most westernly point in Africa, and so is the last place every day to experience African sunrises and sunsets.
To help Senagalese expats feel closer to these beautiful African sunsets and their loved ones, they need fast, affordable and simple money transfers so that their money arrives quickly, and without high fees or commission.
