About the Kenyan Shilling to West African CFA Franc rate

This page converts the Kenyan Shilling (KES) into the West African CFA Franc (XOF) 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 West African CFA Franc is pegged to the euro at 655.957 XOF per EUR, so KES/XOF 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/XOF, 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.

KES to XOF: common questions

How much is 100 KES in XOF?

100 KES converts to 451 XOF at the mid-market rate shown on this page, where one KES is worth 4.5112 XOF. 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 XOF, 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.

What is the KES to XOF exchange rate?

One KES is worth 4.5112 XOF, and one XOF 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 XOF back to KES?

Use the inverse rate: one XOF is worth 0.22167 KES, so multiply your West 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 XOF without internet?

Yes, in the Android app. It stores the last synced KES to XOF 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 XOF rate keep changing?

The Kenyan Shilling and the West 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.

Convert KES to XOF offline

The Android app keeps the last synced rates on your phone, so KES to XOF still converts with no connection: on a plane, in a metro, or abroad without a data plan. It also converts one source currency into several targets on one screen, charts the history of every pair, and can send you a push notification when KES/XOF crosses a level you set.
