This local corridor in numbers
These values come from the catalogue published on this site. Delays are market orders of magnitude, given as median and p95, never contractual commitments.
- Median total time
- 4 minFastest confirmation: 1 min on Stellar, then rail settlement.
- Rail settlement (p50 / p95)
- 3 min / 1 hThe median describes the common case, the p95 the slow one. We show both: a median alone hides exactly what worries you.
- Operating hours
- Continuous, weekends and holidays includedNo cut-off: the rail processes orders continuously. A Sunday evening deposit settles like a Tuesday morning one.
- Settlement currency
- XOF — West African CFA FrancThis is the local currency in Ivory Coast: no extra conversion is done by your bank on arrival.

What is specific to Ivory Coast
Three things change from country to country on a local rail: how the beneficiary is designated, the name matching rules, and the reporting framework.
The local landscape
Ivory Coast receives CFA francs on Orange Money and Wave. Both rails are in beta with us.
Details and name matching
The number must be Ivorian and the wallet verified. A number from another country in the zone, even with the same currency, does not receive on an Ivorian account.
Reporting framework
Income from digital asset disposals falls to the Ivorian tax administration. We give no tax advice: your account exports every operation for your accountant.
Required details and validation rules
Every field is validated as you type, not at send time: an error is flagged immediately rather than as a rejection days later.
| Field | Required | Validation rule | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Numero Wave | Yes | international format number, country code included · normalised to E.164 international format | International format. The account must be in your name. |
| Account holder name | Yes | 2 to 140 characters · edges trimmed | Must match the name verified on your ID exactly. A mismatch gets the transfer rejected. |
The trip, step by step
Each step has its own duration, and none is rounded in our favour.
Quote and lock
The net shows with the full breakdown, before any sign-up. The rate is frozen when the order is created.
Beneficiary details
You enter the Wave details required in Ivory Coast. Every format is checked immediately.
Deposit and confirmation
A dedicated address for your XLM, then about 1 min of confirmation on the fastest network.
Payout
The order goes out on Wave as soon as the threshold is reached: under 5 minutes of settlement, then a downloadable receipt.
How Wave actually works
The CFA franc has no sub-unit in practical use: amounts are whole, with no cents. The payout credits the wallet balance, withdrawable at an agent.
The number must match the selected country: a Senegalese number does not receive on an Ivorian account, even though the currency is the same.
The memo is mandatory and must be of the type we indicate. A deposit without a memo is not attributed automatically and triggers a manual procedure.

FAQ: Stellar to Wave in Ivory Coast
How long between sending my XLM and the money landing in Ivory Coast?
About 4 min in total in the median case: the confirmation time of the network you pick, then under 5 minutes of settlement on Wave. This rail also runs on weekends and holidays.
What is the minimum to sell Stellar to Wave?
Two minimums apply at once: 100 XLM on the deposit side, and F CFA 100,000 on the settlement side. The stricter of the two decides. The rail cap is F CFA 200,000,000 per operation.
What exactly do I pay on this corridor?
Three lines, shown separately before you confirm: the XLM network cost, taken in kind from your deposit; our spread, surcharged for asset volatility and the corridor’s beta status; and the rail fee, that is 0.75%. There is no fourth line, and the three sum to exactly the gap between the mid-market value and the net.
Is the Memo mandatory?
Yes, on Stellar. Without it your deposit lands on a pooled account with no automatic way to attribute it: recovery becomes manual and does not always succeed. The field is displayed next to the address at deposit time.
Which Wave details do I provide in Ivory Coast?
The number must be Ivorian and the wallet verified. A number from another country in the zone, even with the same currency, does not receive on an Ivorian account.
What about tax in Ivory Coast?
Income from digital asset disposals falls to the Ivorian tax administration. We give no tax advice: your account exports every operation for your accountant.
What if I send an amount different from the quote?
Nothing is lost. An underpayment triggers a recalculation at the locked rate, and you receive the amount matching what you actually sent. An overpayment is handled the same way on the excess. In both cases, if the result falls below the rail minimum of F CFA 100,000, we offer another payout method rather than freezing the funds.
