DINARAK Mobile Money Female Agent Network


Description

Dinarak is a Mobile Payment Services Provider in Jordan, fully licensed by the Central Bank of Jordan and connected to the national switch for mobile payments (‘JoMoPay’). The company’s mobile payment services are tailored primarily to benefit the financially excluded, under-banked and unbanked population with a focus on low income Jordanians, women, youth, SMEs, refugees and host communities: Dinarak’s payment platform allows customers to set-up e-Wallet accounts on their mobile phones and deposit cash at local agents to create e-Money balances. Users can then send and receive money, make deposits and withdrawals, and pay for bills, goods and services with complete locational freedom, using Dinarak’s Mobile Payments App. Dinarak customers may obtain an optional Dinarak prepaid card that they can use to make online payments and purchases (e-commerce), make purchases at point of sales and withdraw cash from ATMs in Jordan and globally.

Replicability

We have noticed that many Financial Service Providers and development agencies in Jordan are adapting the same approach of building female agents network. We are at Dinarak currently planning a new scale-up partnership with AWEF to expand our agent network further and develop female-specific products and features into our applications.
