| Payout method | What the recipient needs | What affects delivery time |
|---|---|---|

| Orange Money | Registered Orange Money number and name | Wallet provider processing and account status |

How much does it cost to send money to Cameroon from France?
The exchange rate and every fee are shown clearly in the Coinepay app before you confirm the transfer, so you always know what you pay and what the recipient receives. The total depends on the amount you send, the currency the recipient gets and the payout method you choose. Your recipient should also check whether their own bank or wallet provider charges an incoming or payout fee, as these are set by the receiving institution and are outside Coinepay's control.
Ways to receive money in Cameroon from France
Bank deposit
For a bank payout, provide the recipient's name, bank name, the 23-digit RIB (made up of a five-digit bank code, five-digit branch code, 11-digit account number and two-digit check key) and the receiving bank's SWIFT/BIC. Cameroon has no nationally registered IBAN format, so confirm the exact details with the recipient's bank. Documented bank partners in the corridor include Banque Atlantique, BGFI Bank, CCA Bank and United Bank for Africa, but check with the specific bank for its instructions.
Orange Money
Send to a registered Orange Money Cameroon wallet using the recipient's mobile number and the name registered to the account. Make sure the details match exactly.
MTN Mobile Money
Send to a registered MTN Mobile Money account using the recipient's mobile number and registered name.
Cash pickup
With cash pickup, the recipient collects the money at an agent location by presenting the transfer tracking number and a valid identity document that matches the name on the transfer.
What you need to send money to Cameroon from France
