M-Wallet in Morocco
The m-wallet (mobile wallet) turns the smartphone into a universal payment device. In Morocco, more than 23 million smartphones are connected and mobile payments are booming thanks to Maroc Pay. ChariBaaS provides the full infrastructure to launch a white-label m-wallet: BAM-compliant account, instant KYC, agent cash-in/cash-out, Maroc Pay and P2P transfers.
What is it?
An m-wallet (mobile wallet) is an app installed on a smartphone that lets users store digital money, pay in store by QR or NFC, send and receive money peer-to-peer (P2P), pay bills, top up phones and access financial services remotely.
In Morocco, the m-wallet is a payment account regulated by Bank Al-Maghrib, with a Moroccan IBAN. Difference vs a classic e-wallet: the m-wallet is mobile-first, every feature is built for smartphone usage (QR, NFC, push notifications, biometrics).
The most common m-wallet use cases in Morocco:
- Maroc Pay QR payments in store and online
- Instant P2P transfers to other wallets
- Phone top-up and bill payments (water, electricity, internet)
- Agent cash-in/cash-out (Chari, DamaneCash, ChaabiCash, Tashilat)
- Merchant payment at Maroc Pay-enabled stores
- Virtual or physical card linked to the wallet for online and POS purchases

Frequently asked questions
An m-wallet (mobile wallet) is a smartphone-based e-wallet that lets users store digital money, pay by QR or NFC, send and receive money, and access financial services remotely. In Morocco, it is a payment account regulated by Bank Al-Maghrib.
All three terms get confused. Wallet is the general concept of an electronic purse. E-wallet typically refers to a wallet accessible via web and mobile. M-wallet is exclusively mobile-first, designed for smartphone usage (QR, NFC, push, biometrics). In Morocco all three sit on the same regulated infrastructure.
Two options: 1) obtain your own Bank Al-Maghrib payment-institution licence (long, expensive, > 12 months) or 2) use a white-label infrastructure like ChariBaaS which already holds the licence and lets you operate your own branded m-wallet (live in a few weeks).
Yes. ChariBaaS m-wallets enforce KYC (ID + selfie), strong authentication (biometrics or OTP), 3D Secure 2.0 for card payments, and end-to-end encryption. Funds are held in segregated accounts, separate from the operator's assets, as required by BAM regulation.
Yes. ChariBaaS m-wallets can issue Visa virtual cards (instant) and physical cards (shipped) linked to the wallet balance. Useful for paying in store (NFC), online, or abroad without a traditional bank account.
It depends on the operator. With ChariBaaS infrastructure, you (the m-wallet operator) set pricing freely: free, subscription, or freemium. Most Moroccan consumer m-wallets are free to open, with fees on certain operations (international transfers, card withdrawals, etc.).
Yes. Every ChariBaaS m-wallet is Maroc Pay-compatible natively. Users can pay at any Maroc Pay-enabled merchant and receive P2P payments via QR code, in line with Moroccan interbank standards.
