Mobile money for financial and societal inclusion

Mobile money is revolutionising Africa’s economy. A key driver in the continent’s economic growth, Orange Money is a real vehicle for increasing the financial inclusion of populations and the digitalisation of the continent.

For the Group, the ambition is to go further and to offer more services with a seamless customer experience.

As one of the Group’s main growth drivers on the continent, the service is constantly evolving for the benefit of populations, companies, institutions and Governments.

Launched in 2008, the Orange Money mobile money solution allows millions of people excluded from the banking system to be able to deposit, withdraw, transfer and make payments easily and simply from their mobile phone, with complete security. 12 years on since its launch, Orange Money continues to record exponential growth.
