Scope

- Contactless card issuance and acceptance are gaining traction in Morocco. In January 2018, Visa introduced contactless payment cards supported by its payWave technology, thereby allowing consumers to pay for their purchases by simply tapping their cards at POS terminals. Previously, in October 2015 Mastercard in collaboration with CMI launched contactless payment cards in Morocco, supported by its PayPass service. According to CMI, as of January 2018 there were 13,000 contactless POS terminals installed in the country, with plans to increase this number to 20,000 by the end of 2018.
- In response to the rising demand for Sharia-compliant financial products, in November 2014 the Moroccan government approved a new banking law relating to establishing a fully fledged Islamic finance industry. It allows both domestic and foreign banks to establish Islamic branches in Morocco and also enables private companies to offer Islamic debt. In January 2017, the central bank authorized Attijariwafa bank, Banque Populaire, BMCE Bank, and CIH Bank - to offer Sharia-compliant products and services in Morocco. Further, the central bank has permitted French bank subsidiaries - Socit Gnrale, Crdit du Maroc, and BMCI - to start providing Islamic financial products and services in the country. This initiative is anticipated to drive overall banking penetration, and in turn boost electronic payments in the country.
- To bring more Moroccans into mainstream banking and offer affordable banking services, in December 2016 Attijariwafa bank launched a mobile-only bank called L'bankalik. The digital bank enables individuals to open and maintain an account without any maintenance cost. Similarly, in 2017 CIH Bank launched a lifetime free account for individuals under the age of 31. Along with an account, individuals also receive a zero maintenance charge Mastercard Code 30 bank card, thereby fostering the use of payment cards in the country.
