Reports in Morocco indicate that the fintech portal is expected to allow business makers to contact AMMC and gain access to valuable information and legal counselling on the process of launching innovative financial services

Banks account for nearly half of Morocco’s financial system with the two largest banks in Africa – Groupe Banque Populaire and Attijariwafa – being located in Morocco. Fintech is now slowly making its way to mainstream finance in Morocco, echoing international trends.

While fintech was first confined to services provided by startups, conventional banks are realizing its potential in improving the quality of financial services.

One example is when the Bank of Africa, a major Moroccan bank, announced a partnership with the UK fintech platform, Paysend,to offer a fintech payment service.

The joint service would allow Moroccan bank account holders to carry out low-fee, instant international transactions. The service primarily targets Moroccans abroad who make regular money transfers to bank accounts in Morocco.

According to a separate report, Morocco has 20 startups that are innovating in fintech, with no regulations that hinder the development of these financial technologies.
