About the Kenyan Shilling to Central African CFA Franc rate
This page converts the Kenyan Shilling (KES) into the Central African CFA Franc (XAF) at the mid-market rate. Both currencies trade continuously on the foreign exchange market, and the ratio between them moves with interest rates, inflation and the trade flows between their economies. The rate shown here is the neutral reference each bank, card network and bureau de change then builds its own price on top of.
The Central African CFA Franc is pegged to the euro at 655.957 XAF per EUR, so KES/XAF moves exactly as KES/EUR does: any change in this rate is the Kenyan Shilling moving against the euro.
Every figure on this page is a mid-market reading of KES/XAF, dated above. It says where the pair stood at that time, not where it is heading: no rate here is a forecast, a quote, or an offer to exchange.

100 KES converts to 451 XAF at the mid-market rate shown on this page, where one KES is worth 4.5112 XAF. The pair moves through the day, so check the date under the rate before you rely on the figure.
Is 4.5112 the rate my bank will give me?
No. 4.5112 is the mid-market rate for KES to XAF, the midpoint between the buy and sell price and the rate before anyone adds a margin. A bank, a card network or a bureau de change quotes a lower rate on this pair and may charge a fee on top, so expect to receive less than the converted figure shown here.

One KES is worth 4.5112 XAF, and one XAF is worth 0.22167 KES, at the time shown under the rate. The figure comes from ExchangeRate-API: it is a mid-market reading rather than a live trading price, and every figure on this page, the converter included, uses it.
How do I convert XAF back to KES?
Use the inverse rate: one XAF is worth 0.22167 KES, so multiply your Central African CFA Franc amount by that figure. You can also swap the two currencies in the converter above and the table recalculates in the other direction.
Can I convert KES to XAF without internet?
Yes, in the Android app. It stores the last synced KES to XAF rate on the device and keeps converting with no connection, then updates as soon as you are online again. This website needs a connection, because it fetches the rate when the page loads.
Why does the KES to XAF rate keep changing?
The Kenyan Shilling and the Central African CFA Franc are priced against each other continuously on the currency market. Interest rates, inflation, trade flows and political news all move the pair, which is why the rate you saw in the morning is rarely the rate you see at night.
