 Orange Money SL has on Thursday 8th June 2023 launched a new product called Orange Money Card as they continue to lead in the financial inclusion platform.

A ground breaking achievement in digital finance has been reached following the launch of a new orange Money card for customers and non-customers of Orange Money.

The event was held at Orange Sierra Leone (OSL) headquarters in Freetown. Smart phone and non-smart phone users can use the new orange money card for mobile money transactions.

One can walk into any orange Money shop and purchase the card at NLe 10 by producing an identity card. Orange Money customers and non-customers can also enjoy the service once they are linked to their phone numbers.

In a 30-minute demonstration via power point, Assistant Marketing and Project Manager, Naomi Kabia explained the steps to gain registration with the new card.

According to her, one can first scan, enter the number, get a summary of the details of the person making the request and get the password.

Head of strategy and Marketing, Abibatu Baxter sees the new orange Money card as the achievement of a new milestone in the world of digital finance noting that province of freedom has been created.

“We always set the pace in the financial inclusion drive,” says the Marketing strategist.  Abibatu went on to state that with the new card mobile money transactions had been made simple, and customers freed from worries of sending money to wrong numbers.

“If you send someone to cash money and the person forgets the number, you can easily use the Orange Money card,” she emphasised adding that the new card is simple and stress-free when using it. 

In an age of digital financial services, one should not suffer to spend the money after going through much struggles in getting it.

The Chief Commercial Officer (CMO) Haffie Haffner said Orange Money had made an enviable history that would linger for years. 

She went on to state that social, digital and financial inclusion strategies had been OSL’s mission in Sierra Leone since 2016.

She is satisfied that the company is leading in these three areas, adding that they are in the right direction in social inclusion.

 According to her, the company is also leading in the digital inclusion through the launch of 4G and other data services that are effective and efficient, and Orange Money is leading again in the financial inclusion drive.

She underscores that with such digital breakthrough, they are confident that the new service will bridge the digital divide in financial services and reach the last village.

In his address, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for Orange Money, David Mansaray likened the new orange Money service as an ATM card used in financial transaction.

He expressed his excitement for the new service and wasted no time in launching it.  “I declare Orange Money card launched,” CEO Mansaray said.  He further stated that Orange Money had taken a new, first step in financial inclusion with the new orange Money card which, he said, was the first in the market.
