Pros and cons
Pros
- Fees are a percentage of each transfer and run XOF 0 to XOF 7,000, with a separate rate for mobile money and for card payouts.
- Payouts are flexible: a short cycle, weekly or monthly, with an instant payout on request for Pro merchant accounts.
- Support runs on email, phone and chat, so email, phone, chat and a help centre are all available.
Cons
- Fee percentages change with the corridor and the payment method, and card payouts carry the highest rate, with the amount running XOF 0 to XOF 7,000.
- Instant payout is for Pro merchant accounts, so other senders wait for the short cycle or the weekly and monthly schedule.
Who it suits
- Merchants and small businesses paying staff, suppliers or customers in Benin, Togo, Cote d'Ivoire and Senegal.
- Senders holding a Pro merchant account who need an instant payout on request.
- People who want help by more than email, since support runs on email, phone and chat.
Who should look elsewhere
- PayPal Colombia, where transfers from a PayPal balance or linked bank account are free and KKiaPay charges a percentage.
- Skrill, which charges no percentage on bank transfer payouts and caps its card cost, though same-currency sends cost the most.
- Paysera, where euro transfers to SEPA and Paysera users are free.
