Market Context

On November 10, 2026, the BEAC indicative table showed selling rates of 588.4023 XAF per US dollar and 655.957 XAF per euro. At those rates, a US$100 checkout matches about €89.70 before charges. Use that threshold when the two orders deliver the same crypto.

When does the euro checkout cost less?

A €90 checkout benchmarks at 59,036.13 XAF. The US$100 checkout benchmarks at 58,840.23 XAF. That puts the €90 option 195.90 XAF above the US$100 option before charges. At €89, the reference debit is 58,380.17 XAF. That gives the euro option a 460.06 XAF head start. If its extra costs exceed 460.06 XAF relative to the dollar route, the dollar quote becomes cheaper for the same amount of crypto delivered.
