# Mobile Money and card payments for event ticketing

**TL;DR:** MboaTickets accepts **Mobile Money** and **bank card**, with regional pricing in FCFA, EUR and USD. In French-speaking Africa, Mobile Money is the most common payment method — supporting it natively avoids losing sales to attendees without a card.

## Why Mobile Money is essential
In the CEMAC zone and French-speaking Africa, many people have no bank card but do have a **Mobile Money wallet**. Card-only checkout excludes a large share of buyers, so MboaTickets puts Mobile Money at the core of the purchase flow.

## Available payment methods

| Method | Audience | Currencies |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile Money | Local market (CEMAC, UEMOA) | FCFA |
| Bank card | Local + diaspora | FCFA, EUR, USD |

## The payment flow
1. The attendee picks a ticket tier.
2. They choose **Mobile Money** or **card**.
3. They confirm payment from their phone.
4. The QR ticket is **issued and delivered on WhatsApp** immediately.

## Currencies and regional pricing
- **FCFA** — Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Senegal
- **EUR** — Europe
- **USD** — USA, DR Congo

This lets an organizer sell to a local audience **and** the diaspora, each paying in a familiar currency.

## Security and reconciliation
- Each payment is **tied to a specific ticket**, simplifying reconciliation.
- The organizer tracks **revenue in real time**.
- No more isolated payment links or manual transaction matching.

## FAQ
**Which Mobile Money operators are supported?**
Coverage depends on the country; the team confirms available operators for your market.

**Can a diaspora buyer pay?**
Yes, by card, in the relevant regional currency (EUR or USD).

**When does the organizer receive funds?**
For verified business accounts, payouts happen at least 72 hours after payments. For other accounts, payout occurs one week after payment.
