This collaboration aims to empower millions of Orange Money customers by enabling them to make digital payments through Mastercard’s global network.
The partnership will initially focus on seven countries: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Senegal, and Sierra Leone. By offering virtual and physical Mastercard debit cards linked to Orange Money accounts, the partnership will enable customers to make both domestic and international payments, both online and in-store.
This initiative is particularly significant in a region where access to traditional banking services is limited. By leveraging the extensive reach of Orange Money, the partnership has the potential to significantly boost financial inclusion and empower individuals and businesses.
Both Orange and Mastercard expressed their commitment to driving financial innovation and providing accessible financial solutions to underserved populations. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in the digital transformation of Africa and will contribute to the region’s economic growth and development.
