How long does a transfer to Burkina Faso take?

Transfers to Burkina Faso can arrive in as little as 10 minutes; the actual time depends on the payout method and the receiving bank or provider, and the estimated arrival time is shown in the app before you confirm.

Payout method	What the recipient needs	What affects delivery time
Bank deposit (XOF account)	Full name as shown on the account, bank name, bank and branch codes, and account number	Receiving bank processing and cut-off times; accuracy of account details
Orange Money	Burkina Faso mobile number registered to the wallet (with the +226 code)	Wallet registration status and mobile network availability
Moov Money	Burkina Faso mobile number linked to the Moov Money wallet	Corridor and provider availability at the time of payout
Cash pickup	Transfer reference, sender's name, expected amount and valid photo ID	Agent opening hours and cash availability at the location

Several things can affect speed: receiving bank cut-off times, weekends and local public holidays, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect recipient details. Under BCEAO rules in force since August 2025, the paying institution must establish the purpose of the payment and identify the sender before releasing funds arriving from outside the UEMOA, so providing clear, accurate information helps avoid holds.

How much does it cost to send money to Burkina Faso?

The exchange rate and every fee are shown in the Coinepay app before you confirm the transfer, so you always know the total and the amount the recipient will receive before you pay. The total depends on how much you send, the currency, and the payout method you choose. Keep in mind that the recipient's own bank or wallet provider may charge an incoming or cash-out fee of its own, so it is worth checking with them if the full amount matters.

Ways to receive money in Burkina Faso

Bank deposit

XOF can be deposited to current, savings and business accounts. The recipient needs to supply their full name exactly as held by the bank, the bank name, the bank and branch codes, and the account number. Local accounts use the 24-character RIB reference, which combines country, bank and branch codes, the account number and a check key; enter the details in the fields Coinepay requests at checkout. For a conventional international wire, the recipient should confirm the receiving bank's SWIFT/BIC and instructions directly with that bank.

Orange Money

Eligible transfers can be paid to an Orange Money wallet. The recipient needs their Burkina Faso mobile number, including the +226 country code, registered to the wallet.

Moov Money

Moov Money is also listed as a Burkina Faso receiving option. The recipient needs the Burkina Faso mobile number linked to their Moov Money account. Corridor and provider availability are confirmed at checkout.

Cash pickup

With cash pickup, the recipient collects the money at an agent location. They need the transfer reference, the sender's name, the expected amount and the sending country, plus a valid government-issued photo ID that matches the recipient name on the transfer.
