Thunes Expands Real-Time Payment Services into Morocco

Thunes, recognized as the Smart Superhighway for global money transfer, has announced an exciting new service: real-time payment capabilities across Morocco. This launch marks a significant step in providing a seamless cross-border payment option to users within this vibrant North African nation.

As of now, members of Thunes' Global Direct Network can facilitate real-time payments in Moroccan dirhams (MAD) directly to bank accounts within the country. This enhancement not only aligns Thunes with the rising demand for efficient and speedy cross-border transaction systems but also expands access to Morocco's increasingly digital and connected economy.

In recent years, Morocco has emerged as one of Africa's leading recipients of remittance flows. According to the World Bank, the country attracted over $11.5 billion in 2023 alone. This underscores the need for efficient and cost-effective payment solutions that can cater to the growing volume of transactions.

A recent study conducted by Thunes, shared in its 2025 Borderless Money Report, unveiled that a staggering 65% of expatriates prioritize speed above all else when selecting payment methods. Thunes’ direct connection with Morocco's banking network will ensure that transactions can be executed with unprecedented speed and transparency, providing a substantial upgrade over traditional, slower processes.

Aik Boon Tan, Thunes’ Network Director, stated, “As the demand for seamless, real-time cross-border payments to North Africa continues to rise, Thunes is committed to delivering fast and reliable alternatives to conventional systems. This recent expansion of our Global Direct Network into Morocco is a significant milestone for Thunes and its members worldwide, allowing them to optimize the speed of their consumer and business payments across borders.”

Chloé Mayenobe, President and COO of Thunes, emphasized the importance of speed saying, “Speed has transcended from being just a preference to becoming an expectation and a critical factor for end users when choosing a payment solution. With the launch of direct payments in Morocco, we allow our members to execute transactions that are faster, more economical, and transparent in one of Africa's key markets.”

This expansion reinforces Thunes’ leadership in the field of real-time cross-border payments and significantly simplifies payment processes within Morocco. It also aligns with Thunes’ mission to integrate the next billion end-users into the global economy, promoting greater financial inclusion for users looking to send money to this promising market.
