(Business in Cameroon) - Customers of the Cameroonian subsidiary of the e-commerce company, Cdiscount, will be able to make payments using Orange Money, Orange Cameroon’s payment service.

In the absence of credit cards which still are not widely used in Cameroon, Orange Money gives customers an excellent opportunity to make distance payments.

Orange Money and Mobile Money, the two mobile payment services provided by Cameroon’s two mobile market leaders (Orange and MTN) have been quite successful since being launched.

Since the start of the year, the Cameroonian government has even signed a partnership with MTN and Orange to launch property tax payment via mobile phones. This is a pilot programme that is expected to become widespread in the next few years, facilitating the payment of all taxes.
