The local arm of Orange Money, a mobile money service of France-based telecom Orange, has launched a partnership with TerraPay, a UK-based cross-border payments network, to allow people in Mali to receive money from 210 countries. The transactions generally take less than one minute to process. Recipients can cash out the money or keep it in their mobile wallets to relay to other people, send bill payments or make retail purchases. Orange has 287 million customers in 26 countries, including 13 million mobile users in Mali.
