The official currency is the Congolese Franc (CDF). Credit
cards have a very limited use, as do traveller cheques, usually
only in Kinshasa. It is best to take US dollars in hard currency.
Banks are closed on weekends and credit cards cannot be used to
obtain cash advances. The economy is highly unstable in the Congo,
and therefore denominations of currency and exchange rates are
subject to change at short notice.
By its very nature much of the information in this travel guide is subject to change at short notice and travellers are urged to verify information on which they're relying with the relevant authorities.
