About the Central African CFA Franc to Kenyan Shilling rate
This page converts the Central African CFA Franc (XAF) into the Kenyan Shilling (KES) 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 XAF/KES moves exactly as EUR/KES 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 XAF/KES, 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.

Is 0.22167 the rate my bank will give me?
No. 0.22167 is the mid-market rate for XAF to KES, 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 XAF is worth 0.22167 KES, and one KES is worth 4.5112 XAF, 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 KES back to XAF?
Use the inverse rate: one KES is worth 4.5112 XAF, so multiply your Kenyan Shilling 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 XAF to KES without internet?
Yes, in the Android app. It stores the last synced XAF to KES 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 XAF to KES rate keep changing?
The Central African CFA Franc and the Kenyan Shilling 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.
