ShineAfric is the free mobile app that brings together, in a single app, the financial and information tools the African diaspora and African entrepreneurs need every day. No sign-up, no intrusive ads, in French and English — built for those who live between Europe and Africa.
Why ShineAfric
Checking an exchange rate before sending money, following your country's economic news without drowning in unreliable sources, and keeping an eye on your budget: today you have to juggle several apps. ShineAfric combines these three needs in one simple, clean and fast interface.
Exchange rates & transfers
See today's rates for the main African currencies — EUR to XOF (UEMOA), XAF (CEMAC), MAD, NGN, GHS, KES, and USD as a reference — with a built-in converter and a trend indicator (up or down versus yesterday). Then compare transfer services to send at the best rate. The latest rates stay available even offline.
Economic news, summarised by AI
A feed of African economic news from reliable sources (Jeune Afrique, Agence Ecofin, BBC Afrique, RFI Économie, APA), filterable by region: West, Central, North and East Africa. Each article is summarised in a few lines by AI, to get to the point — available even offline.
Mini budget
Add an expense in two taps, sort it by category (housing, food, transport, money transfer, health, leisure, business…), track your monthly balance with a clear chart, and view the last few months. Everything stays 100% on your phone: no account, no server, no cloud.
Simple, free, respectful
No sign-up required, a lightweight app (under 30 MB), fast loading even on 3G, and a clear introduction on first launch. ShineAfric is and will remain free, with no intrusive ads — giving the diaspora and African entrepreneurs tools that match their needs.
