About Aviso Consulting

To date, 84% of West Africans are excluded from the banking system (12/2017 – BCEAO). We believe that every person has the right to have access to financial services adapted to their means and their life context, without compromising on quality.
That’s why since 2011, Aviso Consulting has been investing in the development of financial inclusion and access to financial services for all by bringing its expertise to Mobile Money players.

Mobile Money gives low-income people access to an alternative to the traditional banking system with only a phone number and ID as proof.

With increasing growth rates over the last decade, Mobile Money has proven us to be much more than a simple access to a banking account . The ability to retain money in digital form allows users to feel safer and more independent. Bearing new opportunities for income and economic activities, it is recognized as an accelerator for achieving the eleventh United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

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 want to continue our efforts with telecom operators, banks, NGOs and fintechs to help them to build new strategies to contribute more widely to development efforts.

Our expertise

At Aviso Consulting, we have developed a broad experience in the design, deployment and optimization of mobile financial services, enabling our customers to secure their launch projects and accelerate their scale-up. Each market has its own specificity and we strive to share our experiences and adapt our interventions to the local context in which we operate.

Coming from the world of banking and telecoms, Benjamin Deransart and Sonia Annoussamy, partners of the firm, bring to their customers the complementarity of their specific expertise. With this approach, Aviso Consulting has developed its network by teaming up with experts who have operational experience with major players in Mobile Money in Africa.
