FCFA1,000 is a small everyday sum in Mali — roughly a sotrama ride and airtime. Mali relies on Orange Money and Moov Money (Malitel), with adoption driven by domestic and diaspora transfers.
In a large, lightly-banked country, mobile money is mainly about reaching the regions; the band tariff matters more than the operator choice. 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.
