Orange Money Visa card allows Orange Money subscribers in Africa to make in store and online payments.



If until now, it was only possible for Orange Money subscribers to use their mobile phones to transfer funds to any mobile phone subscriber in or outside the country, buy airtime, and pay bills, henceforth Orange has realized a big blow. Its customers will be
able to make in store and online payments.
Botswana will be the first country to benefit from the new program and will allow easy access to funds 24 hours a day, bringing new point-of-sale, online and ATM transaction options to consumers.
According to Orange, other countries in Africa and the Middle East, where Orange Money is already available, will progressively offer the Orange Money prepaid Visa card.
Connectikpeople has discovered that, the Orange Money Visa card will be available to all sectors of the population, ranging from the unbanked and under-banked, blue collar workers, rural dwellers as well as the young, self-employed
 “This is a significant milestone in Visa’s strategy to drive financial inclusion and we are excited to be launching this service with Orange in Botswana. The program will contribute to the mobile money revolution in Africa, enabling many more people to access the benefits of the formal financial system.”
Said Visa’s Head of Digital Solutions for Emerging Markets, Hannes Van Rensburg
