This service is being offered to Orange Botswana clients who have bank accounts.

Senders who do not have an Orange Money account can also avail the service provided they have a registered Orange sim card. The recipients are required to have an Orange Money wallet.  

As part of the latest tie-up, bank customers will also be able to transfer money from their bank accounts to their Orange Money wallets via the Orange Botswana website.

This method is driven by Cellulant’s payments platform, Tingg, and will be available to the banks that have mobile apps and those that do not have such facilities.
