ATM24 processes international transfers in West African CFA Franc (XOF) through available banking routes. IBAN format is not used in Burkina Faso: for an international transfer you typically need the bank's SWIFT/BIC code, account number, and recipient's full name. XOF is the common currency of eight countries in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), rigidly pegged to the euro at the rate of 1 EUR = 655.957 XOF; the issuer and regulator is BCEAO. Following the military coup in 2022, Burkina Faso has notably distanced itself from France and several Western partners, so some correspondent banks may exercise heightened caution when processing international payments. Among the main banks for international transfers are Coris Bank International and Ecobank Burkina Faso.
Burkina Faso has not imposed its own sanctions against Russia; however, any specific transfer depends on the receiving bank, the correspondent chain, and standard AML/KYC checks. ATM24 clarifies the available routing in advance before confirming your request. International SWIFT transfers typically take 2–5 business days to settle. ATM24 commission starts from 0.9%.
