How Togo pays
Togo pays with mobile money. T-Money from Togocom and Flooz from Moov Africa are the everyday wallets for transfers, bills and shop payments, while cash still covers much of daily spending. Card ownership is concentrated among banked, urban buyers, with cards issued by local banks on Visa, Mastercard and the regional GIM-UEMOA network.
Togo is part of the West African monetary union, so it uses the CFA franc, which is pegged to the euro, and its banks are supervised by the regional central bank, the BCEAO. For a merchant, the value is a clear starting point: international cards and express wallets behind one integration, 3DS on card-not-present payments, and retries across acquirers, with CFA franc pricing and FX handled for you.

Everything it takes to run payments in Togo
Local payment methods are only half the job. We carry the operational weight — acquiring, settlement, FX, licensing and reconciliation — so you can treat Togo like any other market in your stack.
One integration, growing local coverage
Connect once for what's live in Togo today — including international card acquiring — and add local wallets and bank rails through the same integration as we bring them online.
Local acquiring, higher approvals
We route to local acquirers and retry failed payments across alternate rails, so domestic cards and wallets authorize at local rates instead of being declined as cross-border traffic.
Settlement, FX & repatriation
Collect in the West African CFA franc (XOF) and settle in your base currency. We handle the FX conversion and the local rules for moving funds out of the country — the part most global merchants underestimate.
Licensing handled locally
We're establishing locally licensed partners so you can process in-country as we expand local coverage — without standing up your own entity or chasing a license.
Payouts & reconciliation
Pay out to sellers and process refunds on the same rails you collect on, and reconcile every flow — pay-in, payout, refund — in one ledger, in local or base currency.
Fraud, disputes & compliance
Real-time screening, chargeback and dispute handling, and KYC/AML that matches local regulator expectations — built in, not bolted on.
