Provider restrictions and XAF evidence
| Platform | Type | What the source shows |
|---|---|---|
| LocalCoinSwap | P2P marketplace | Its terms explicitly restrict the Central African Republic. |
| Paybis | Card provider | Its API restrictions name the country (CAF). |
| MoonPay | Card provider | Its unsupported-country list names the country. |
| Mercuryo | Card provider | Its general availability policy excludes the country. Its separate consumer sell table shows Visa and excludes Mastercard. The merchant off-ramp list explicitly marks the country unavailable. Finlazo did not verify an eligible consumer card route. |
| Binance | Exchange and P2P marketplace | Its regional XAF announcement does not establish a current Bangui payout. |
| Moneroo | Merchant payments | Its coverage page names the country for XAF card and crypto payments at checkout. That listing does not establish a retail exchange cash-out. |
The IMF’s 2023 review records that the country removed crypto legal-tender status in April 2023. A reference to the original law or Sango project cannot establish the availability of a bank payout today.
Market Context
The BEAC parity values €1 at 655.957 XAF. A €100 payout therefore benchmarks at 65,595.70 XAF before deductions. Use the rate only after a provider confirms an eligible payout in euros.
Set a threshold for a direct XAF quote
Suppose a €100 sale loses €5 before conversion. At parity, €95 would be worth 62,315.92 XAF. A direct quote of 63,000 XAF would be about 684 XAF higher, assuming the same crypto sold and no further charges. At parity, a direct credit of 63,000 XAF matches about €96.04 net. A €100 route could therefore lose about €3.96 before the direct quote pays more. These are illustrative quotes. Finlazo did not observe either route.
