Supported Currencies

AfriConvert supports a growing global set of currencies for real-time exchange-rate and provider comparison. The platform serves people managing cross-border currency flows worldwide — from remote workers and contractors to importers, investors, travelers, businesses, and families supporting relatives abroad. Whether you are converting US Dollars to Nigerian Naira, British Pounds to Ghanaian Cedi, or Euros to Kenyan Shillings, AfriConvert helps you understand real payout outcomes, provider fees, and the smartest options available. We support bidirectional conversion between all listed currencies, including cross-rate calculations for pairs that do not have a direct exchange market.

Source Currencies

Source currencies are the currencies used to initiate cross-border transactions. These include major international and regional currencies commonly held by individuals and organizations managing cross-border payments worldwide. AfriConvert tracks market rates and provider information for supported transactions so users can understand available outcomes before they act.

Destination Currencies

Destination currencies are the currencies received at the other end of a cross-border transaction. AfriConvert covers major currencies across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Gulf, Europe, and other supported markets, including the Nigerian Naira, Ghanaian Cedi, Kenyan Shilling, South African Rand, Indian Rupee, Philippine Peso, South Korean Won, Malaysian Ringgit, Thai Baht, Indonesian Rupiah, Vietnamese Đồng, Kuwaiti Dinar, Bahraini Dinar, Omani Rial, Jordanian Dinar, Iranian Rial, North Korean Won, Salvadoran Colón, Cook Islands Dollar, Offshore Chinese Renminbi, Cuban Peso, Manx Pound, Mexican Peso, Colombian Peso, Guatemalan Quetzal, Honduran Lempira, Paraguayan Guaraní, Belize Dollar, Guyanese Dollar, Dominican Peso, Jamaican Dollar, Trinidad and Tobago Dollar, Haitian Gourde, Peruvian Sol, Costa Rican Colón, Nicaraguan Córdoba, Panamanian Balboa, Bolivian Boliviano, Uruguayan Peso, Argentine Peso, Chilean Peso, Barbadian Dollar, and Bahamian Dollar. Where provider data is available, AfriConvert compares the real payout after fees and exchange-rate markups.

Two-Way Conversion

AfriConvert supports full bidirectional conversion between all supported currencies. This means you are not limited to converting from source currencies to destination currencies only. You can also convert in the reverse direction — for example, checking how many US Dollars a certain amount of Nigerian Naira is worth, or how many Euros correspond to a given amount of Kenyan Shillings. Whether you're planning travel, relocating, managing transfers, or simply curious about exchange values, bidirectional conversion lets you check rates in both directions. Simply swap the source and target currencies on the converter to see the reverse rate. The bidirectional feature works seamlessly with our provider comparison tool, so you can compare transfer costs in whichever direction suits your needs. This flexibility sets AfriConvert apart from many comparison platforms that only support one-way lookups from major currencies to African currencies.

Cross-Rate Support

Not every currency pair has a direct exchange market. For example, there is no widely quoted direct rate for British Pounds to Ghanaian Cedis or Canadian Dollars to Kenyan Shillings. In these cases, AfriConvert calculates a cross-rate by routing through a common intermediary currency, typically the US Dollar. The process works like this: first, the source currency is converted to USD using the live market rate, and then USD is converted to the destination currency using the live USD rate for that target. The resulting cross-rate reflects real-time market conditions for both legs of the conversion and gives you an accurate indicative rate. Cross-rate calculations are the same method used by banks, forex brokers, and financial institutions worldwide. On AfriConvert, cross-rate conversions are clearly labeled so you always know how your rate was derived. This approach allows us to support a much wider range of currency pairs than would be possible if we relied only on directly quoted rates, enabling you to compare costs for virtually any corridor combination among our supported currencies.
