FCFA10,000 is a common mid-size amount in Benin — roughly a week's shopping in Cotonou. 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. At 0.50% effective, this is where comparing providers pays most — the relative gap between cheapest and priciest is wide around here.
At FCFA10,000, 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.
