To date, 84% of West African inhabitants are excluded from the banking system (12/2017 – BCEAO). We believe that everyone has the right to have access to financial services adapted to their means and their life context, without compromising on quality.
This is why since 2011, Aviso Consulting has been investing in the development of financial inclusion and access to financial services for all, by providing its expertise to innovative players, particularly in mobile financial services ( Mobile Money).
Mobile Money, for example, allows low-income populations to access an alternative to traditional financial services with only a telephone number and an identity document as supporting documents.
Growing strongly over the last ten years, we have seen that Mobile Money has proven to be much more than access to a simple account. The ability to store money digitally allows users to feel more secure and empowered. Bringing new opportunities for income and economic activities, it is recognized as an accelerator for achieving the eleven Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.
Based in Senegal, we are at the heart of the market and in direct contact with the concerns and expectations of customers on the African continent. With more than 330 million accounts opened in Sub-Saharan Africa at the end of 2017 (GSMA), the popularity of Mobile Money is growing and we wish to continue our efforts with telecom operators, banks, NGOs and Fintechs in order to help them to build new strategies capable of contributing more widely to development efforts.
At Aviso Consulting, we have developed extensive expertise in the design, deployment and optimization of mobile financial services, allowing our clients to secure their launch projects and accelerate their time to market.
Each market has its specificity and we strive to share our experiences and adapt our interventions to the context of the geographies in which we operate.
Coming from the world of Banking and Telecoms, Benjamin Deransart and Sonia Annoussamy, partners of the firm, bring their clients the complementarity of their expertise. Building on this approach, Aviso Consulting has developed a network of experts with operational experience with major players in Mobile Money and financial services in Africa.
