The cost of sending FCFA100,000

FCFA100,000 is a substantial sum in Cameroon — roughly rent or school fees. Cameroon (CEMAC zone) runs on MTN MoMo and Orange Money, in the euro-pegged CFA franc.

A 0.2% mobile-money tax sits on top of the operator fee; with two dominant players the tariff moves little and agent coverage decides. The cheapest (MTN) is only 0.70% at this size — low in percentage terms, but the absolute amount makes the choice worth getting right.

At FCFA100,000, this amount falls in a pricing band where a flat FCFA500 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 Cameroon send tariff is banded by amount: free FCFA1–FCFA5,000; 1% FCFA5,001–FCFA50,000; flat FCFA500 FCFA50,001–FCFA200,000. That is why the cost depends as much on the amount as on the provider.

Money Transfer Tax (TTA): Cameroon applies a 0.2% tax (TTA) on the amount of every mobile money transfer and withdrawal (0.4% round-trip), plus a flat 4 FCFA per transaction. The 0.2% has applied since 1 January 2022 and the 4 FCFA since 1 January 2025. Cash deposits, merchant payments and bank transfers are exempt. The user pays; the operator (MTN MoMo, Orange Money) collects it.
