Why the XAF to KES rate changes
The Central African CFA Franc to Kenyan Shilling exchange rate is not fixed. It moves with supply and demand for each currency, interest-rate decisions by the central banks that issue them, inflation, commodity prices and the general appetite for risk in global markets. Most emerging-market currencies are priced through the US dollar, so a strong or weak dollar day usually shows up in the XAF to KES rate too.
MigraPay refreshes this page every five minutes and quotes the live rate in the app at the moment you confirm a transfer. Because the rate is locked when you send, the KES amount shown before you pay is the amount that is delivered. Fees are shown separately, so you can compare the total cost of sending XAF to KES against any other provider on the same basis.
