About the South African Rand to Central African CFA Franc rate
This page converts the South African Rand (ZAR) 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 ZAR/XAF moves exactly as ZAR/EUR does: any change in this rate is the South African Rand moving against the euro.
Every figure on this page is a mid-market reading of ZAR/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.

Is 35.5360 the rate my bank will give me?

Use the inverse rate: one XAF is worth 0.02814 ZAR, 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 ZAR to XAF without internet?
Yes, in the Android app. It stores the last synced ZAR 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 ZAR to XAF rate keep changing?
The South African Rand 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.
