PracticalMoney and payment
CFA franc, cash and mobile payment.
The currency is the CFA franc (XOF), pegged to the euro: 1 euro = 655.957 CFA francs. Cash is still widely used; mobile payment (Wave, Orange Money) is everywhere, and cards are accepted in hotels and larger restaurants.
On GANAALE you can pay online or, when the partner accepts it, on site.
