What Mobile money is
Mobile money is a category rather than one branded scheme: a wallet held against your phone number with a licensed issuer, usually a mobile network operator or its fintech subsidiary, topped up with cash at an agent and spent from the handset. Each country licenses its own providers, so the names change at the border. The Central Bank of The Gambia names Afrimobile Money and QMoney as licensed operators, and the Bank of Tanzania supervises non-bank payment service providers under its national payment system powers. For funding an exchange account it behaves like a local bank transfer that happens to sit on a SIM, so the questions that matter are which wallet the other side accepts and what the agent charges.
