Thunes Introduces Real-Time Payments in Morocco
In an exciting announcement, Thunes, renowned as the Smart Superhighway for moving money globally, has launched its real-time payment services in Morocco. This expansion allows members of Thunes' Direct Global Network to facilitate swift and efficient payments directly to bank accounts across the country. As Morocco emerges as a prominent recipient of cross-border funds, this initiative aligns with the increasing demand for faster and more affordable financial solutions in the region.
According to 2023 data from the World Bank, Morocco received an impressive USD 11.5 billion in remittances, highlighting the significance of prompt cross-border payment services. Thunes' latest undertaking addresses this need, ensuring that transactions are faster and more transparent compared to traditional systems, thus improving overall customer experiences.
An important revelation from Thunes' 2025 Report, "Money Without Borders," indicates that the urgency of speed is paramount among users. The report shows that approximately 65% of expatriates prioritize the speed of transactions when choosing their payment methods. Thunes, with its direct links into Morocco's banking infrastructure, is set to revolutionize the way payments are processed in the country.
Aik Boon Tan, Thunes' Chief Network Officer, emphasized, "With the growing demand for seamless, real-time cross-border transactions into North Africa, we are dedicated to providing efficient alternatives to conventional payment systems. Our expansion into Morocco represents a significant milestone for both Thunes and our global members, enabling them to enhance the speed and efficiency of their payment processes."
Echoing this sentiment, Chloé Mayenobe, President and COO of Thunes, stated, "The expectation for speed in cross-border payments is no longer just a preference; it has become a crucial element for users selecting a service. The introduction of direct payouts into Morocco empowers our members to deliver quicker, cost-effective, and transparent payment experiences in one of Africa's vital markets."
This strategic expansion not only strengthens Thunes' position in the realm of real-time cross-border payments but also enhances its mission to integrate the next billion users into the global economy, promoting financial inclusion for those wishing to send remittances into Morocco. As recipients of these cross-border payments, individuals and businesses in Morocco stand to benefit from quicker transaction times, contributing to the growth of a digitized economy.
