What Orange Money is

Orange Money is the mobile money wallet offered by the local Orange entities across 17 countries in Africa and the Middle East, coordinated by Orange Money Group, the mobile financial services arm of the telecoms group Orange. Your phone number is the account: you load cash with an Orange agent or in a shop, then send, pay and withdraw from the handset. To fund an exchange with it the money has to be sitting in the wallet already, so the usual sequence is an agent deposit followed by a transfer.
