Ivory Coast is undergoing a digital financial revolution, with mobile money and bank transfers becoming the preferred way to pay for millions of consumers. As of 2024, mobile connections in the country exceeded 43 million—well above the total population—demonstrating widespread mobile penetration and readiness for digital services.

Mobile wallets such as Orange Money, MTN Mobile Money, Wave, and Moov Cash dominate the financial ecosystem, enabling everything from bill payments to person-to-person transfers. This rise in digital finance has significantly improved financial inclusion, with mobile money accounts reaching new highs across the region.

Bank transfers are also growing steadily as more Ivoirians gain access to formal banking services, creating a dual-channel system where both mobile money and traditional banking coexist to serve consumers and businesses. This digital transformation is not only reshaping how people pay, but also contributing to national economic growth and stability.
