About
Konoom Mobile Money is a Chadian payment institution based in N'Djamena and founded by bankers Abakar Mahamat Adoum Fortey and Brahim Moussa Hassane. On 10 October 2025 Chad's finance ministry and COBAC, the Central African banking commission, approved it as the first 100% Chadian payment institution, whereas Airtel's local mobile money arm, licensed in 2023, works with a foreign telecom operator. Users manage their wallet through a mobile app, USSD codes that work without internet, WhatsApp or a web portal, and can send money to wallets, bank accounts or agents, pay merchants by QR code, and settle bills, taxes and government fees. The licence does not let it take deposits or lend.
