FCFA5,000 is a common mid-size amount in Senegal — roughly a week's market shopping in Dakar. 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. At 0% effective, this is where comparing providers pays most — the relative gap between cheapest and priciest is wide around here.
At FCFA5,000, this amount falls in a pricing band where no 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.
