Last updated: August 2025
The CA Group International Desk Africa, Maghreb, and Middle East provides support to the Group’s business and individual clients in Cameroon with its preferred partner, particularly with opening accounts and providing local financing in CFA Francs (there is an obligation to provide a bank guarantee to the Cameroonian bank granting the financing).
General Information
Cameroon is an important country in the CEMAC zone. It is a petroleum and gas producing country with an economy that is diversified compared to that of other countries in the zone, particularly focused on agricultural sectors such as cocoa, coffee, cotton, palm oil, and wood, and manufacturing sectors such as the textile industry.
Means of Payment & Banking Specificities
We recommend the use of a confirmed documentary credit payable upon receipt or in of 30 to 60 days. Payment delays are very frequent. They are most often due to a currency issue (non-availability at the time of the transfer) but also to cash flow problems.
