FCFA1,000 is a small everyday sum in Senegal — roughly a few sept-place rides or a small boutique buy. Senegal is Wave's home market — its free or near-free transfers reset pricing — alongside Orange Money and Free Money.
Wave's free wallet sends forced the incumbents down, so a Senegalese send is often genuinely free; the cost reappears at agent cash-out. The cheapest (Orange) works out at 1.3%; 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 FCFA5000) 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.
Money Transfer Tax (TTA): Senegal applies a 0.5% Money Transfer Tax (TTA) on the value of each mobile money operation — transfers, payments and withdrawals — capped at 2,000 FCFA per transaction. It was created by Law n°2025-17 of 27 September 2025, and collection began on Orange Money from 16 December 2025. The operator collects it from the customer initiating the operation.
