Why Morocco?

Morocco’s tourism sector grew by +34% year-on-year in 2023, driven by rising international arrivals, new airline routes, and ongoing investment in infrastructure. With its unique position bridging Europe, West Africa, and the Middle East, it’s becoming a key launchpad for regional travel. As more local suppliers connect globally, the demand for efficient B2B transactions in Moroccan Dirham (MAD) is accelerating—creating real opportunities for scalable, cross-border payment solutions.

17.4 Million International Arrivals

Morocco welcomed a record-breaking increase in international tourists in 2024, positioning itself as the leading African destination, driving volume across supplier networks and intensifying the demand for streamlined financial operations.

Prepayment Limitations

Restrictions on international transactions limit prepayments, creating barriers between local suppliers and global partners, increasing the need for compliant, automated transaction solutions.

2030 FIFA World Cup Co-Host

Co-hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup will accelerate demand for transparent, efficient cross-border payment infrastructure to support an influx of international partners, suppliers and service providers.
