Manage brackets​

Creating, editing and deleting are reserved to administrators.

  • Add a bracket: choose the operator, fill in the fields and create.
  • Edit: change the values and save.
  • Delete: the bracket is deactivated, not erased; it is no longer used in calculations.

Simulator​

  1. Click Simulator.
  2. Enter an amount (FCFA) and choose the operator.
  3. The result shows the bracket, beneficiary amount, administrative tax, withdrawal fee, added fees and total amount.
Beneficiary amount : 70,000 FCFA
Administrative tax : 200 FCFA
Withdrawal fee : 1,200 FCFA
Total amount : 71,400 FCFA

Use​

Schedules are used to compute the fees in the transfer letter. See Transaction fees.

Good practice​

Recommendations
  1. An operator's brackets must not overlap.
  2. They must cover every amount paid: an amount outside any bracket gives zero fees.
  3. Update the schedule as soon as the operator changes its rates.
