Can you send from one Orange Money country to another?
Sending between Orange Money countries (UEMOA)
Orange Money International lets you send wallet-to-wallet between Orange countries in the West-African CFA zone (Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau). Because these share the XOF at the fixed euro peg, there is no cross-currency margin inside the zone — only the send fee on the country grid applies. Check the exact fee on each country page.

The CEMAC rail (Central Africa)
Across the six-country CEMAC zone (Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, Chad, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea) Orange operates a Central-African transfer rail with a stated ceiling around 500,000 XAF per transfer. As in UEMOA, the shared XAF peg means no FX margin between member states. Availability depends on Orange having a licence in both endpoints.
