Headed by Jean-Louis Menann-Kouamé,
Orange Bank Africa will offer clients a
range of simple savings and credit services
available at all times via mobile phone.
In addition, Orange Bank Africa will
address the needs of a large part of the
population, often excluded from the world
of conventional banking, allowing them to
borrow and save small amounts that are
nonetheless essential for their everyday lives.
Orange’s mobile financial services strategy
in Africa aims to offer solutions accessible
to the broadest population regardless of
their income or where they live. Orange
Bank Africa intends to become a leader in
ensuring financial inclusion in West Africa.
Stéphane Richard, Chairman and CEO,
Orange, explained that: “New technology
is needed to strengthen financial inclusion
and support economic development, as
proven by mobile money over the past few
years. Banking is a new area of business for
Orange in Africa. It falls squarely in line with
our strategy as a multi-service operator and
our desire to drive the Digital Transformation
forward in Africa.”
