Our verdict
Orange Money RCA suits people sending money within a single market who want transfers that cost free and land Instant, 24/7. Run by Orange Centrafrique, it charges a monthly fee of XAF 0 and pays out in cash or to a wallet, so it fits domestic senders rather than people moving money across many borders.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The model is listed as no monthly fee, the transfer fee is free and the monthly fee is XAF 0 on every account.

- Recipients can be paid in cash at a payout point or into a wallet, the two methods in cash pickup and wallet.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so questions can be raised by phone, by email or through the help centre.
Cons
- Payouts are limited to cash pickup and wallet, so a recipient who needs to be paid into a bank account is not covered by the service.

- It operates inside a single market, based in Central African Republic, rather than serving senders across a spread of different countries.

Who it suits
- Senders who want the money to land Instant, 24/7 and be collected in cash by the recipient at a payout point nearby.
- People who hold a wallet and prefer payouts to that wallet rather than a bank account, the options in cash pickup and wallet.
- Users who want to keep costs down, since transfers are free and the monthly fee is XAF 0 for the account.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for card funded sends, since Skrill charges 0% by bank transfer, up to 1% debit card, up to 2.99% credit card, up to 4.99% same send and receive currency and that fee rises on debit and credit card payments.
- Not for people who want to send straight from a PayPal balance or a linked bank account, where PayPal Colombia charges 0% from PayPal balance or linked bank account (2.90% + fixed fee by card); 5.00% international, min 0.99 USD, max 4.99 USD.
