How can I get paid from abroad in Libreville?

A global payment account gives you account details in currencies such as USD, EUR or GBP, so clients and marketplaces can pay you locally in their country. You then convert to XAF and withdraw.

What does it cost to convert to XAF?

Costs are the conversion margin plus any withdrawal fee to your local bank in Gabon. Compare both, as they vary a lot between providers.

Who regulates international bank accounts & e-wallets in Libreville?

Providers serving customers in Gabon fall under Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale (BEAC) with banking supervision by COBAC. Gabon belongs to the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC): banks are licensed under COBAC's regional banking rules applied on BEAC's instructions, and e-money issuers need COBAC accreditation. Libreville is one of the region's denser banking markets, but confirm any provider's COBAC registration before holding Central African CFA franc balances.

Who uses global payment accounts in Libreville?

Freelancers, remote workers, online sellers and small exporters in Libreville use them to receive foreign income without opening bank accounts abroad.
