Local banking essentials

What to check before opening an account in Niamey

Regulation

Niger is a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA), so banking institutions are licensed by the BCEAO and payment-service providers and e-money issuers (including mobile money) are approved under the BCEAO's regional Payment Services directive. Check the BCEAO's register of approved establishments before holding CFA franc balances with a provider.

Local account details

Nigerien accounts use the IBAN starting NE, 28 characters in total: NE plus two check digits, a two-character bank code, a two-digit branch code and a 16-digit account number - the reference format for interbank transfers across UEMOA.

Local currency: XOF (West African CFA franc (the UEMOA currency issued by the BCEAO and pegged to the euro))

Payments and transfers

Regional transfers clear through SICA-UEMOA, the UEMOA interbank clearing system, with large-value settlement on the BCEAO's STAR system; domestically, mobile money carries most day-to-day digital payments through Airtel Money and Moov Money, whose agent networks reach far beyond Niamey's bank branches, while card spending rides Visa/Mastercard rails. Cash remains significant outside the main urban centres.
