BCEAO reports that PI-SPI, launched 30 September 2025 as a 24/7 interoperable instant-payment platform, had 80 connected participants on 2 April 2026: 59 banks, 9 electronic-money institutions, 11 microfinance institutions, and 1 payment institution.
What this does not establish
No claim is made about mass use, interoperability quality, fraud, settlement finality in practice, or equal availability in all eight states.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
BCEAO also reported 42 institutions still testing, indicating incomplete ecosystem coverage.
What would change the reading
Update when BCEAO publishes country-level active participants, transaction volume/value, failure rates, fees, fraud, and customer-reach metrics.
