TerraPay, a global money movement company, has taken a significant step forward by partnering with Wave Mobile Money to enhance cross-border remittance services in West Africa. This collaboration is set to transform the way people in Mali receive money from abroad, offering them a faster, more accessible, and cost-effective solution.
In West Africa, mobile phones have become an integral part of daily life for many individuals, with over 80% of Mali’s population utilizing these devices. The prevalence of mobile phones has paved the way for the widespread adoption of mobile money and digital wallets as essential tools for financial inclusion. These digital platforms provide access to financial services for millions of unbanked individuals across the region.
Karamokho Badiane, Regional Head of Business Development at Wave Mobile Money, expressed enthusiasm about this partnership by stating,
“We are excited to join forces with Orabank Mali and TerraPay to revolutionize payment solutions and enhance financial accessibility for our customers.”
This strategic alliance leverages TerraPay’s global payments infrastructure and Orabank Mali’s expertise in remittance services to expand reach and deliver greater value to users.
By integrating multiple Money Transfer Operators (MTOs) across the US, Canada, and Europe into its network, TerraPay now offers a seamless platform for remittance flows directly to Mali. This innovative approach ensures that all Wave users can promptly receive funds, reinforcing financial inclusion efforts and providing a secure alternative to informal remittance channels.
Willie Kanyeki, Vice President—Sub-Saharan Africa at TerraPay emphasized the impact of this collaboration on borderless money movement:
“Our partnership with Wave Mobile Money marks a significant milestone in our mission. By enabling instant, cost-effective, and fully compliant remittances from key markets like the US, Canada, and Europe.”
The joint effort between TerraPay and Wave Mobile Money signifies a commitment to breaking down barriers and offering accessible financial solutions across Mali. With cutting-edge technology ensuring safe and reliable money transfers through this initiative, economic growth and financial empowerment are expected outcomes that will contribute significantly toward fostering inclusive financial ecosystems within West Africa.
