This development is set to benefit other financial institutions in Morocco and Tunisia, as it opens doors for them to integrate the Way4 platform into their operations.
The Way4 platform, developed by OpenWay, provides a set of tools for financial institutions to introduce and manage digital payment services that are available in real-time, around the clock.
It is designed to enable the consolidation of various payment products, including cards, digital wallets, and merchant services, on a single platform, thereby streamlining payment processes.
OpenWay regional sales director Jean-Philippe Wolyniec said: “Progress in Africa is not a solo act—it is a community journey. We are proud to co-create impact with our clients and support their mission to deliver inclusive, secure, and future-ready payment experiences.”
