Country Market Guide

Mozambique

Africa

Mozambique is a mobile-money-first market. Vodacom's M-Pesa is by far the most widely used payment method, alongside Movitel's mKesh and e-Mola; together they serve a population where bank account penetration remains low and most commerce happens through agent networks. Card acceptance is concentrated in Maputo's hotels, retailers, and formal businesses, while cross-border online merchants typically reach Mozambican customers through mobile money aggregators rather than direct card acquiring.
