EUR IBAN for businesses in Africa

Companies in 42 African countries can apply for a named Lithuanian EUR IBAN. No African country is in the SEPA area (only Réunion and Mayotte, as parts of France, are); the IBAN is, so European customers pay you by SEPA and you pay European suppliers the same way. In the CFA franc zones, the franc is pegged to the euro at a fixed rate. Money going home goes by SWIFT, in the local currency where we support it and in US dollars or euros where we do not; each country page says which.

“Hold and pay out”: the currency can be held and paid by SWIFT. “Pay out only”: bought when you pay and sent by SWIFT. “USD or EUR”: we do not pay out in the local currency, so payments go in US dollars or euros by SWIFT. Countries on our sanctions list cannot apply and are not listed. Sanctions policy
