[AR] What is it?
[AR] Banking as a Service (BaaS) is an infrastructure model that lets businesses embed regulated financial services — accounts, payments, cards, compliance — into their own products via APIs. Instead of obtaining banking licenses and building core systems, companies use a licensed BaaS provider like ChariBaaS to access the full stack.

The platform is designed for MENA and African market expansion with multi-currency account management. PCI DSS certified, API-first architecture enables cross-border integration for international fintechs and enterprises looking to enter the Moroccan and broader African financial services market.
