FCFA1,000 is a small everyday sum in Burkina Faso — roughly a ride and airtime. 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. The cheapest (Wave) works out at 0%; a flat fee, where it applies, still counts at this size.
At FCFA1,000, 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.
