Opening a bank account in Burkina Faso

Julien

Hi all,

is it difficult for expats to open a bank account in Burkina Faso ?

Which documents are required to open a bank account in Burkina Faso ?

How long does it take to open it ?

Is there any restriction for expats regarding the services (loans for instance)  ?

Which bank would you recommend ?

Thanks in advance for your participation,

Julien

Instead of that opening an account is very easy, you just need your passport and you can do it less than one hour.
