The cost of sending FCFA50,000

FCFA50,000 is one of the largest amounts on this page in Burkina Faso — roughly rent or a transfer to the village. Burkina Faso runs on Orange Money and Moov Money, in the WAEMU-zone CFA franc.

Two operators share most of the market; the banded tariff and rural agent availability make the difference. At 0% effective the fee is almost negligible; here the binding constraint is your transaction limit and the agent's cash float.

At FCFA50,000, this amount falls in a pricing band where a percentage fee (1%, capped at FCFA4500) 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.
