Equatorial Guinea’s payment landscape is dominated by cash, but the country is experiencing a gradual shift towards digital payments, particularly the use of mobile money platforms. Equatorial Guinea’s payment system is predominantly cash-based, with limited access to modern payment technologies, reflecting underdeveloped financial infrastructure and lower levels of digital literacy. Credit and debit card usage is limited, primarily concentrated in urban areas and larger businesses catering to tourists. Online banking and mobile money are in their early stages of development.
