Fees and procedures: How to transfer money from Wave to Orange Money using PI-SPI

Since November 2, 2026, electronic money transfers between operators must use the BCEAO’s PI-SPI platform. To receive a Wave transfer in an Orange Money account, customers must create a PI alias in the PI section of the Max it app, then enter the beneficiary’s phone number or alias in Wave, check the displayed name and confirm the transfer. Transfers are instant and available at any time, although the option to send to another operator may not yet be enabled for every Wave customer. Users are advised to update the app and test the service with a small amount, such as 500 CFA francs.
