Detention card rate < 3%. The cost of cards, ATM / ATM and POS as well as the quality of telecom infrastructure in parts of the Union cause the GIM and its members to seek additional means of payment. BACKGROUND

  16. Mobile telephony: Penetration rate : 60% Sustained growth over several years. The mobile phone therefore becomes an indispensable complement to the development of electronic banking channel (cards, ATM, POS, Internet, etc..) This is the purpose of GIM-MOBILE, a project initiated in January 2011. The official launch was made on December 8, 2011. BACKGROUND
