Before you send

The rate above is the mid-market rate: the midpoint between the prices at which banks buy and sell each currency. No transfer service pays it exactly. Each takes a margin on the rate, and many add a fee on top.

So compare services by what arrives, not by the fee: how many cedis the recipient gets for the same number of dollars. A transfer advertised as free usually makes its money on the rate.

For example, 200 CAD at the reference rate is 1,645 GHS. A service offering 1,595 GHS for the same 200 dollars is keeping about 3% of it.

Since January

against the US dollar

A Canadian dollar buys more cedis than it did in January.

Against the US dollar since January, the Canadian dollar has weakened 3.4%, and the Ghanaian cedi has weakened 6.7%.

We give the direction, not a figure: the two moves are measured separately against the US dollar, and folding them into one number would claim more precision than they have.

About the Ghanaian cedi

Legal tender in Ghana.

The cedi floats: the Bank of Ghana does not fix it to any other currency, so its rate against the Canadian dollar moves with both.
