Central African RepublicXAFCentral African CFA Franc
The banking network in the Central African Republic is limited: most SWIFT transfers go through BGFI Bank Centrafrique in Bangui - not every route from Russia is viable. XAF (Central African CFA franc) is the common currency of 6 CEMAC countries, managed by BEAC; 1 EUR = 655.957 XAF (fixed rate). IBAN is not used in the Central African Republic. The Central African Republic has not imposed sanctions against Russia: the route is open. ATM24 manager verifies route viability before confirmation - this is critical for the Central African Republic.
The route, the receiving bank and the payout amount are agreed before payment.

The service really helped out. Many thanks to manager Alisa!
Read full reviewThere were suspicions about transfers and receiving, so we requested a small amount, received cash right at the hotel ATM in a few minutes. Very convenient, the rate of course isn't the most favorable, but in a situation when there are only rubles on the card and you need to withdraw - an excellent solution.
