Mobile Money and card payments for event ticketing
TL;DR: MboaTickets accepts Mobile Money and bank card, with regional pricing in FCFA, EUR and USD. In French-speaking Africa, Mobile Money is the most common payment method — supporting it natively avoids losing sales to attendees without a card.
Why Mobile Money is essential
In the CEMAC zone and French-speaking Africa, many people have no bank card but do have a Mobile Money wallet. Card-only checkout excludes a large share of buyers, so MboaTickets puts Mobile Money at the core of the purchase flow.
Available payment methods
| Method | Audience | Currencies |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile Money | Local market (CEMAC, UEMOA) | FCFA |
| Bank card | Local + diaspora | FCFA, EUR, USD |
