Building interoperability in service of regional inclusion

For over a decade, GIMAC has been working to build an integrated and inclusive payment ecosystem serving CEMAC. Through GIMACPAY, we have interconnected financial institutions, integrated mobile money, and exceeded 600 billion FCFA in transactions by 2025. These advancements reflect our commitment to making finance more accessible, secure, and innovative for all.

Our ambition remains constant: to make GIMAC a catalyst for economic and social development based on interoperability and regional trust.
