Orange Money: a new service tested in Ivory Coast

Committed to delivering an effective response to the expectations of its clients and offering them practical and innovative solutions, the Group has just unveiled the new Orange Money pilot scheme in the Ivory Coast.
This mobile phone payment and transfer service allows customers to make simple financial transactions such as deposits, withdrawals and transfers, as well as to pay utility bills or make purchases from selected retailers. In countries where access to banking services is relatively limited, Orange Money will make life easier for customers, especially if they do not have a bank account.


how does it work?
Customers with an Orange Money account can browse through a simple menu allowing them to deposit cash in their local currency, pay electricity bills, buy goods and services, transfer money to friends or family, or top up their phone – all in the utmost security. Recipients can withdraw their money in their local currency.
This service is ideally suited to microcredit lenders and beneficiaries since it allows both parties to save time and resources by facilitating payment collection. This service is compatible with all handsets and makes it possible for customers to check recent transactions made from their mobile.
Retailers who have joined the scheme can choose whether to register transactions on a mobile phone or over the internet.

A new practical, secure and easy-to-use payment tool, Orange Money offers complete traceability since each transaction is identified with a unique number. At the end of this trial phase, Orange Money could be rolled out to the rest of the country and to other countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
