How your recipient gets paid in Cameroon

From Douala to Yaoundé to Bamenda, MTN Mobile Money is how Cameroon pays, and how money from the US reaches home. Payouts are in Central African CFA francs (XAF), the currency Cameroon shares with the CEMAC region.

MTN Mobile Money

What you need

  • Your recipient’s MTN Cameroon number, registered for Mobile Money in their own name.

  • Their name as it appears on the MoMo account.

  • The country code +237. Cameroonian mobile numbers have 9 digits.

How it lands

The francs arrive in the MoMo wallet with MTN’s confirmation SMS. Your recipient can pay merchants and bills straight from the wallet or cash out at any MTN agent; MTN’s tariffs apply to cash-outs.

Good to know

  • MTN and Orange run separate wallets in Cameroon. The number must be an MTN line to receive MTN Mobile Money.

  • XAF is pegged to the euro, so day-to-day moves in the rate follow the dollar against the euro.

  • English and French are both official languages; this page exists in French too, for the whole family.
