🇧🇯 Send FCFA1,000 in Benin: fees by provider
To send FCFA1,000 in Benin, fees range from FCFA10.00 (Wave, the cheapest) to FCFA50.00. Which provider you pick genuinely changes what you pay.
FCFA1,000 is a small everyday sum in Benin — roughly a zem ride and airtime. Benin runs on MTN MoMo and Moov Money, with mobile money now an everyday payment channel.
Benin digitised quickly around two operators; at a given amount the band tariffs are close, and agent access is the tie-breaker. The cheapest (Wave) works out at 1.0%; a flat fee, where it applies, still counts at this size.
At FCFA1,000, this amount falls in a pricing band where a flat FCFA50 fee applies at the reference provider. This is the top band: the tariff does not change above it. Keeping money on the wallet to pay avoids any cash-out fee.
The Benin send tariff is banded by amount: free FCFA1–FCFA999; flat FCFA50 above FCFA1,000. That is why the cost depends as much on the amount as on the provider.
