Explanation of fundraising (Gas Fee):



KeeCash cards are generated in Europe, that's why they're topped up in euros. This has the advantage of saving you exchange fees of up to 20% at some African banks, not to mention your expensive trips and painful queues. If you’re using other cards, you’ve certainly dealt with that before.
When you pay with Mobile Money, your money is received in Africa and KeeCash must send this money to Europe to reload your card. This has a significant cost and is represented by Gas fees.

The KeeCash team is working to reduce its Gas fees or even to eliminate them as the project evolves.

Note: The term <<Gas>> comes from the world of cryptocurrencies, the cyptocurrency Ethereum precisely, where transaction fees will be paid by the person who buys the crypto to put it in his electronic wallet and in particular electricity charges. These costs do not come back to the cryptocurrency vendor but captured by cryptocurrency miners to remain profitable in the face of the cost of electricity.
The total amount to be paid also depends on mobile money charges depending on the amount each mobile operator sets in your country.

You can go directly to the application to do your simulations to have the exact amount you will have to pay according to the amount you want to reload.
