Send money from Türkiye to Cote d'Ivoire
For senders in Istanbul and Ankara, the Abidjan side matters most. Côte d'Ivoire buys and sells with North Africa, and Ivorian students study across the region. From Istanbul, that means USD turned into CFA francs at a rate you can see, landing in Abidjan the same day.

The Türkiye to Côte d'Ivoire corridor, explained
From Ankara to Abidjan. Côte d'Ivoire buys and sells with North Africa, and Ivorian students study across the region.
Turkish exporters and freelancers receive USD into Grey from foreign buyers and clients. Sending from that balance avoids the lira leg entirely. Grey then shows the USD to XOF rate and fee as two separate numbers and delivers to SGBCI or any other bank in Côte d'Ivoire. The recipient doesn't need Grey.
How sending to Cote d'Ivoire works
Sign up
Register with your passport or kimlik in a few minutes. Your Grey account comes with foreign-currency details for receiving pay from overseas. Grey works with licensed partners serving Türkiye.
Fund
Your Grey balance in Istanbul comes from abroad: a dollar salary, a euro invoice, a GreyTag from family. Any of those pays for Abidjan.
Send
Paste the recipient's RIB, check the USD to XOF rate Grey quotes in Istanbul, and send. The CFA francs land as a domestic credit.
What a transfer to Côte d'Ivoire actually costs
Grey prices the transfer once, in Istanbul. You see the rate, you see the fee, and the XOF amount that lands at SGBCI is the one you agreed to.
No re-pricing after you tap send
Rate fixed at confirmation, XOF amount shown before you send, nothing adjusted after. That's the whole promise from Istanbul to Abidjan.
On a route where the destination currency moves, it's the reason to use a service at all.
Why this corridor gets overlooked
Abidjan is a serious trade hub, yet the payments behind that trade are often priced like small gifts with wide spreads nobody questions. From Ankara, Grey turns that into a quoted USD to XOF rate and a XOF deposit at SGBCI, same as any local transfer.
Arriving in Côte d'Ivoire
Delivery is to the bank account, in XOF, as a domestic credit. That covers SGBCI, Ecobank Côte d'Ivoire, NSIA Banque, BICICI and every other bank in Côte d'Ivoire. Nothing for the recipient to do, and a settlement record for you in Istanbul.
Straight to the account
No cash pickup, no agent, no collection code. XOF into the bank.
