Local accounts in Haiti

Haiti does not use IBANs: local accounts are the banks' own numbers (routed by branch code), and international payments lean on correspondent banks reached through SWIFT/BIC - much of the formal economy runs on the US dollar alongside the gourde.

Payments in Haiti

The Haitian gourde circulates alongside heavy de facto US dollar usage in pricing, savings and larger transactions. Domestic retail payments increasingly run over mobile money, notably Digicel's MonCash and NatCash (the bank-linked wallet from Sogebank's group), which BRH regulates and which connect to bank accounts, while interbank transfers between the country's banks remain partly batch-based; remittances (largely from the United States) are a lifeline flowing through licensed transfer operators and wallet integrations, and the gourde has depreciated sharply in recent years, so dollar-linked stability is a common customer concern.
