Gozem, the African super app operating in francophone west and central Africa, has partnered with DT One, a leading provider of digital transfer solutions, to launch a new airtime recharge service.
With DT One’s technology integration, Gozem users can now easily recharge their loved ones’ mobile airtime directly from the app’s integrated wallet. According to a statement seen by Technext, the service will initially be available in Benin, with plans to expand to other countries.
Gozem is a super app that provides a suite of mobility, ecommerce, and financial services to consumers, drivers and retailers. It operates in 14 cities across Togo, Benin, Gabon, and Cameroon, with more than 800,000 registered users who have completed more than 12 million trips since its launch in November 2018.
Gozem’s mission is to simplify and enhance its users’ lives through a comprehensive digital ecosystem, which already includes services such as ordering a taxi or motorbike ride, meals, shipping parcels, and home delivery of gas.
Jean-Martial Moulaud, Group Director at Gozem, explained that the partnership with DT One and the addition of the airtime recharge service furthers this goal.
“We’re proud to offer this new functionality to our Gozem community, furthering our mission to bring world-class services to French-speaking Africa.”
DT One helps over 5 billion mobile consumers maintain quality digital and social connections across emerging economies. It offers a network of non-cash micropayments and digital pre-pay partners to businesses worldwide with a vast network spanning 160+ countries and over 1,800 partners, including AT&T, Vodafone, Binance Pay, PayPal, MoneyGram, Western Union, and WorldRemit,
In the same vein, Peter De Caluwe, CEO of DT One, stated, “This partnership allows us to bring fast, secure, and low-cost mobile top-up solutions to users across French-speaking Africa, promoting financial inclusion.
“Our partnership with Gozem aligns with our mission to connect users globally through airtime, data, utility payments, vouchers, and gift cards in over 160 countries worldwide.”
The Gozem application was launched to deliver top-notch services to the people of French-speaking Africa. It is available on the Google Play Store and iOS App Store
About Gozem
Gozem was founded by Gregory Costamagna, Raphael Dana and Emeka Ajene. The startup started operations in Togo in 2018 as a motorcycle ride-hailing service. It’s a model other super app companies across Africa have adopted, such as Nigeria’s OPay and SafeBoda, more recently. Other players like North Africa-focused Yassir are also looking to offer banking and payment services.
