Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by KelvinLamar: 3:52am On Mar 12, 2016 |
zhukafa: Zhukafa. I have been following this thread since late last year. Thank you so much for the information you have been providing here. I plan on travelling across West Africa, starting from Benin Republic. I am leaving next week. My question is: Can I use maybe a UBA or EcoBank ATM card to withdraw in CFA without going through the hassle of the black market? I mean, those banks are "supposedly" pan African. Something like, get into Benin Republic and just withdraw there directly in CFA. There are so many other questions. But you have already answered them(2012 till date) |

Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by zhukafa(m): 6:55am On Mar 13, 2016 |
KelvinLamar: You are not allowed to withdraw with your Normal ATM card. There is a service which ECO bank offers that is easier to pay in naira here in nija and pick it in cefa at any african country they cover. Since ECO Bank is a PAN AFRICAN Bank, i suggest you make enquiry from them. |

zhukafa: Goodday Zhukafa, i have read all the pages of this thread. I couldnt find solutions to my issues. Zhukafa, i'll like to go to benin soon to make enquiries. My questions are. Do i need an id card? If yes. Can i just use any id card as i've none now. Can just get a computer biz center and get one done. Would that work? Also, how do i get to benin easily. Seems the mods deleted that part from the previous page as u said u've answered the question before. Thanks in advance. |

Bros, well done on this thread !!! Pls, am planning to go Cotonou to price Car. I ve gotten my direction from mile 2 from this thread and some other related info but I need to know if my new Nigeria National ID Card its enough for me... Or I will still need ECOWAS card. Thanks |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by Awee(f): 3:45pm On Mar 15, 2016 |
What do you mean by normal ATM card? Their verve card works well in a lot of African countries while the Naira MasterCard works worldwide. These are two good options considering your travel plans but you can confirm from their contact centre 0700 500 0000 sha. zhukafa: |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by Ugosample(m): 10:18pm On Mar 17, 2016 |
Awee: The cards have been blocked since Dec. 31 2015 |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by Ugosample(m): 10:23pm On Mar 17, 2016 |
KelvinLamar: As an experienced West African traveller, lol Lemme advice you. Better carry cash on you, because ATMs have been blocked, except it is a dolkat/Euro account. Learn at least some phrases in French. It will help you. Numbers will help you even more, if not you go hear an for there o. Draw your roadmaps on time too. Which cities are you doing? Cotonou-Lome-Accra-Abidjan-Bamako-Dakar? or you go cut am? Willing to hear from you |
