Integrity at the service of Ivorian land investment
Capital Foncier is committed to operating with ethics, transparency, and responsibility. Because a healthy land market benefits everyone.
Why ethics is at the heart of our business
The land sector in Côte d'Ivoire suffers from practices that undermine investor trust: corruption, price opacity, money laundering, and conflicts of interest. These abuses artificially inflate prices and exclude people who earn an honest living. Capital Foncier has chosen to do things differently.
Our commitment against land corruption
Capital Foncier makes no informal payments to any public official. Every administrative step is documented, every fee is official and supported by documentation.
Land corruption primarily penalises honest families buying their first plot. By refusing these practices, we contribute to cleaning up a market that must remain accessible to all.
If an intermediary suggests an 'arrangement' as part of a Capital Foncier engagement, report it immediately to our team: it is a violation of our commitments, and we stand accountable.
Traceable Payments and Anti-Money Laundering
The price of a plot is never paid in cash: every payment is made to the account designated in the contract, with a receipt issued in your name. Every transaction is traceable, documented, and transferable to your heirs or legal counsel.
Land purchased with funds of uncertain origin carries high legal risk for the buyer. Our verification process protects your investment long-term.
The instalment plans offered on certain plots are structured as documented bank transfers or through notarial escrow accounts, never in cash, never through unidentified intermediaries.
In compliance with Ordinance No. 2023-875 of 23 November 2023 on anti-money laundering (which repealed Law No. 2016-992) and with BCEAO/WAEMU directives on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML-CTF).
Independence and rigorous partner selection
Capital Foncier does not involve, in checking or marketing a plot, anyone it knows to hold a personal interest in that plot, whether a notary, a chartered surveyor (géomètre-expert), a land business manager (business manager foncier), or a partner organisation.
We systematically disclose any potential commercial links to our investors. Transparency about our partner relationships is part of our security methodology.
If you identify a situation where the impartiality of someone working with Capital Foncier seems compromised, our team handles every report with confidentiality and rigour.
Financial transparency: every franc accounted for
The price displayed on capital-foncier.com is the real price, with no hidden fees discovered at the end. Our financial summary details every component: land price, survey fees, notary fees, and payment plans.
Capital Foncier does not practise 'dual pricing'. Every transaction is declared at its real value to the competent tax authorities — securing your title and your financial position.
Your Investor Space gives you real-time access to the complete history of your transactions, payments, and contractual documents.
Your data confidentiality, our commitment
Documents you submit as part of the KYC process are stored on secure servers, accessible only to authorised Capital Foncier team members handling your file. They are never shared with commercial third parties.
Capital Foncier applies GDPR requirements for all investors residing in the European Union, and complies with Ivorian Law No. 2013-450 on data protection for all its operations.
You can request access to, rectification of, or deletion of your personal data at any time from your Investor Space.
Our approach in local communities
Before marketing any plot of customary origin, Capital Foncier checks the plot's situation with the local stakeholders concerned: land chiefs, families holding customary rights, and village authorities.
A formally titled plot contested by the local community is a risky plot. Our support includes reconciling formal law with ground reality — to protect your investment for 20 years.
Capital Foncier commits not to market any plot whose community situation proves uncertain or contested during the checks set out in its qualification standard, even if the formal title is in order.
The Integrity of the Capital Foncier Network
The contract Capital Foncier will ask each land business manager to sign includes a code of conduct: no yield promises, no artificial urgency, no unverified information passed on to investors.
The onboarding planned for land business managers includes training in our vocabulary and ethical commitments.
Before handing any document to someone who presents themselves as a member of the Capital Foncier network, ask us for confirmation at contact@capital-foncier.com. A land business manager never asks you for money. Never hand over money in person towards the price of a plot, to anyone: those payments go only to the account designated in the contract.
Report a concern
If you witness or experience a practice contrary to our ethical commitments — involving a team member, partner, or third party acting on behalf of Capital Foncier — we encourage you to report it. Every report is treated with confidentiality and seriousness.
