Founded in 2025, Konoom Mobile Money operates a fully digital financial services platform. The platform allows users to send, receive and pay money without relying on a traditional bank. The company aims to give every Chadian the ability to manage daily finances independently, regardless of geographic location or access to conventional banking services.

The platform processes real-time money transfers across multiple channels, including Konoom wallets, bank accounts and agent outlets. It enables users to pay utility bills such as electricity, water, television and telecommunications, along with other essential services, through a single interface. It also allows users to pay government taxes and duties directly from the wallet through a secure portal.

Konoom Mobile Money relies on a digital wallet that allows users to deposit, store, send and withdraw funds. The wallet functions as a central tool for managing daily expenses without requiring a bank account. Users can fund the wallet through bank transfers, an agent network or mobile money channels, and the system makes funds immediately available for transactions.

He later earned a master’s degree in investment and corporate governance, with a specialization in financial engineering, in 2015 from Groupe ISM in Dakar.

He began his professional career in 2014 as a consultant at MCG Afrique. He joined Orabank in Chad from 2018 to 2021, where he served as a credit risk analyst and later as head of the standardized credit processing unit.
