Paying ¥10,000: the FX spread is now the main cost
At ¥10,000 the FX spread, not the fee, is the main cost. A two-to-three-percent gap between the mid rate and the agent band is real money you either keep or give away on every order, and it compounds across a year of buying. Lock the rate the day you pay rather than the day you quote, get two provider quotes side by side, and treat the headline fee as secondary to the spread you are actually charged.
Because the CFA is pegged to the euro at 655.957, the only moving part of CNY/XOF is the yuan-euro rate — which is calmer than a free-floating African currency but not fixed. The bigger cost is the spread an agent or bank adds when converting CFA to RMB; that is what to compare, since the peg already removes the headline volatility.
The cheapest rail at this amount is Wave at ~1% — about CFA8,513 on CFA851,255.
