  • Senegal – Country of World Heritages

    Senegal is a West African country located on the south coast of Senegal river. The Dakar Rally, the hardest rally worldwide, is held in its capital Dakar. As the terminal station, Rose Lake is still fascinating until now. There are three world heritages in Senegal, among which Goree Island is a world cultural heritage, while Niokolo-koba National Park and Djoudj National Birds Sanctuary are world natural heritages. Why not take your UnionPay cards (card number starting with 62) to the historical depth in the “Country of World Heritages”.

  • Cash withdrawal

    In Senegal, UnionPay cards are accepted at some ATMs.

    Please refer to the latest government policy on overseas cash withdrawal via UnionPay cards at "Help Center-Card-using Instructions-Refined Card-using Tips". Daily cash withdrawal limit from respective issuers and/or ATM may apply. Please consult your issuer on the possible cap on the amount. You may split your withdrawals into several times which comply with the limit(s).

  • Charges

    ATM commission fee consists of two separate fees: 
    (1) Service fee charged by the issuer: please consult your issuer for details.
    (2) Service fee charged by the ATM acquirer in Senegal: some ATMs will charge commission fee, which is charged by the local banks in Senegal and which has nothing to do with UnionPay or the issuer.

    Cash withdrawal via debit card results in a lower commission fee.

  • Tips

    Select PINs that cannot be easily guessed by anyone.
    Never disclose your PIN to anyone who claims to represent the bank or the police.
    Be alert to your surroundings before conducting any banking transactions.
    Keep a close eye on your credit card during transaction to avoid any illegal activities.
    If your UnionPay card has been stolen/lost, please inform the issuer immediately.
