Casablanca – Bank of Africa, one of Morocco’s leading financial institutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Taptap Send, a fintech platform specializing in international money transfers. This collaboration aims to provide seamless, instant, and cost-free money transfer services to Moroccans living abroad, further solidifying the bank’s commitment to supporting the diaspora and enhancing its international presence.

Overview of Bank of Africa

Founded in 1959, Bank of Africa (BOA) is one of Morocco’s largest and most established banking institutions. The bank has a significant presence both locally and internationally, offering a wide range of financial services, including retail banking, corporate banking, and investment solutions. BOA is known for its focus on innovation and its ongoing efforts to modernize its services, adapting to the evolving needs of its clients, particularly the Moroccan diaspora. Over the years, the bank has been dedicated to strengthening its role as a key player in the financial sector while maintaining a strong relationship with Moroccans living abroad.

Overview of Taptap Send

TapTap Send is a digital platform that facilitates international money transfers through its mobile application. Specializing in providing a quick, secure, and fee-free solution for sending funds globally, Taptap Send is particularly popular among migrants who need an easy and affordable way to support their families back home. The platform operates in various countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and several European nations, making it an ideal partner for Bank of Africa in its efforts to serve the Moroccan diaspora. The platform is known for its simplicity, allowing users to send money directly to bank accounts in recipient countries with minimal effort.

Objectives of the collaboration

The partnership between Bank of Africa and TapTap Send is designed to provide a fast, secure, and cost-efficient method for Moroccans living abroad to send money to their families in Morocco. This collaboration addresses the growing demand for instant and fee-free money transfers. Through this service, users of the TapTap Send mobile app can send money directly to any bank account in Morocco, regardless of the recipient’s bank, instantly and without incurring any transfer fees.

This partnership specifically targets key remittance corridors with large Moroccan communities, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, and European Union countries. These regions are home to millions of Moroccans who rely on regular financial transfers to support their families back home. By offering a solution that eliminates transfer fees, Bank of Africa aims to make financial services more accessible, reduce the cost of remittances, and improve the overall experience for Moroccan expatriates.

Benefits for the Moroccan Diaspora

One of the most significant advantages of the Bank of Africa and TapTap Send partnership is the elimination of transfer fees. Traditionally, money transfers from abroad to Morocco can involve significant fees, which can reduce the amount received by the recipient. By removing these fees, the collaboration ensures that more money reaches families in Morocco, making it a cost-effective solution for those who send funds regularly.

Additionally, the service operates 24/7, providing greater flexibility for users who may need to send money at any time, regardless of location or time zone differences. The real-time transfer of funds further enhances the convenience of the service, as recipients in Morocco can access the transferred funds instantly, directly into their bank accounts.

Beyond practical benefits, this partnership also helps address financial inclusion. By offering an easy-to-use digital platform, Bank of Africa and TapTap Send provide a modern, accessible financial solution for the Moroccan diaspora, many of whom may not have access to traditional banking services in their host countries. This initiative plays a critical role in integrating the diaspora into the broader financial ecosystem, enabling easier management of finances and sending money back home.

Expanding Bank of Africa’s international reach

The collaboration also allows Bank of Africa to expand its international network and strengthen its relationships with Moroccans living abroad. As part of its broader strategy to enhance its global presence, Bank of Africa has been actively developing innovative financial solutions tailored to the specific needs of its diverse client base, including the Moroccan diaspora. The partnership with TapTap Send aligns with this strategy, enabling the bank to offer cutting-edge services that are in line with the evolving digital landscape.

Commitment to supporting the diaspora

Through this partnership, Bank of Africa continues to demonstrate its dedication to supporting the Moroccan diaspora. The bank’s commitment goes beyond providing financial services—it aims to be a key player in the daily lives of Moroccans abroad, particularly in facilitating their contributions to families and communities back home. This collaboration symbolizes Bank of Africa’s ongoing role in fostering economic ties between Morocco and its expatriates, contributing to both the financial well-being of families and the broader development of the country.

The partnership between Bank of Africa and TapTap Send marks a significant milestone in improving the financial services available to the Moroccan diaspora. By offering a fast, secure, and fee-free way to send money to Morocco, the collaboration not only enhances the financial experience for Moroccans abroad but also strengthens Bank of Africa’s position as a leading financial institution committed to innovation and customer satisfaction. With this initiative, Bank of Africa continues to affirm its role as a key player in supporting Moroccans living abroad and contributing to the modernization of cross-border financial services.
