Typical monthly living costs can range from 600,000 to 1,200,000 CFA Francs, depending on lifestyle choices and location. This budget includes rent for a modest apartment, utilities, transportation, food, and entertainment. When it comes to banking, using local banks can be convenient, but ensure you’re aware of their fees and limits. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in urban areas, yet carrying cash is essential for rural regions and transactions with smaller vendors. Online transfer services like Wise or OFX often yield better exchange rates and lower fees than exchanging cash locally, making them an excellent choice for sending or receiving money internationally.
