Burkina Faso uses the West African CFA franc, written as XOF. It’s the same currency shared by several countries in West Africa. The CFA franc is pegged to the euro, making it stable and easy to use across borders. Most transactions in Burkina Faso are done in cash, especially in local markets. You’ll find bills showing African art, architecture, and farmers at work. Banks and ATMs are available in cities like Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso. The CFA franc helps keep regional trade and travel simple across West Africa.
