Landing in Abidjan is easier with the right apps. Here is the shortlist for the first months: SIM, money, getting around and daily life.
Money and mobile money
- Wave and Orange Money for payments and transfers.
- Djamo for a digital account with a Visa card.
- Your bank (SGBCI, NSIA, Ecobank) for international wires.
Getting around
- Yango, Heetch and Uber for rides.
- Google Maps for orientation.
- A VPN if you use geo-restricted services.
Daily life
Jumia and Glovo for shopping and delivery, WhatsApp to communicate, Booking or Airbnb for temporary housing. For admin, keep your embassy app and an online payment method.
