Send money from Ghana to France, straight to any bank account
When you send money to France through Grey, your GHS balance converts to EUR at the live rate and arrives directly in your recipient's French bank account. BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole, Societe Generale, and La Banque Postale are all supported via SEPA. Enter your recipient's IBAN, confirm the rate and fee, and send.
Your recipient does not need a Grey account. The euros arrive in their banking app typically within minutes. No branch visits, no bureau de change, no correspondent bank fees at the other end.
The total cost of a transfer is the conversion fee and the exchange rate together. Some services advertise zero fees but mark up the rate. Grey shows both numbers on the same screen before you tap Send.

How much does it cost to send money to France
Every transfer from Ghana to France involves two costs: the conversion fee and the exchange rate margin. Grey shows both before you confirm. The EUR amount your recipient receives is on screen before you tap Send. GHS to EUR is a Group A currency pair, which means Grey's conversion fee is capped at $6 regardless of the transfer amount.
How exchange rates work: GHS to EUR
The GHS to EUR exchange rate determines how many euros your recipient receives. On a large cedi transfer, a 1% difference in the rate changes the euro amount meaningfully. Grey shows the live rate before you confirm. The rate on screen is the rate applied. No adjustment after you send.
Grey charges a conversion fee of 1%, capped at $6. The withdrawal fee is 0.5% of the transfer amount, minimum €2, capped at €10. Both are shown alongside the rate before you commit. That is the complete cost.
Some providers advertise zero fees but recover their margin through the exchange rate. On a large GHS transfer, a 2% rate markup costs significantly more than a transparent fee would. Grey separates both numbers so the total cost is clear before you send.

Send money to France for every reason that matters
Support family in Europe
France is home to a significant West African community. A parent in Accra covering a child's monthly living costs in Paris. A family in Kumasi sending regular support to a sibling working abroad. On a recurring transfer, the rate Grey shows before you confirm is the rate applied.
Education and university fees
Paying tuition fees at a French university from a salary in Accra. Covering semester fees due on a fixed date. Sending monthly allowance to a student in Paris. Grey shows the GHS amount debited and the EUR amount received before you confirm.
Business and supplier payments
An Accra-based business settling invoices with a French supplier or partner in euros. A Ghanaian startup paying for French-based software, services, or contractors. A company in Kumasi managing regular EUR payables to a European counterpart. Grey supports SEPA transfers to French bank accounts without requiring a separate business account.
Move or settle abroad
A Ghanaian professional relocating to Paris and covering initial costs from Ghana. Funding a French bank account before arriving. Sending a salary instalment ahead of a move. Grey shows the exact EUR amount before you send.
Your reasons may be different, but the need is the same: the money has to get there, the cost has to be clear, and the app has to work the same way it did last month. Do it all on Grey, with the rate and fee shown before every transfer.
