Centre Monétique Interbancaire (CMI) has launched a new service called “Fatourati Agrégateur” to make it easier for software companies and fintech firms to add bill payments to their systems.
The new service lets outside platforms connect directly to Fatourati, as Morocco pushes to make business payments more digital.
Fatourati, which started in 2013, is one of the main systems used in Morocco to pay bills through different channels. It is linked to 32 banks and payment providers. It allows companies to receive payments through more than 70 channels, including mobile banking apps, online banking, e-wallets, local payment points, bank branches and cash machines.
With “Fatourati Agrégateur”, CMI is opening the system to more technology partners. The goal is to turn billing software into complete tools that handle the whole process — from creating an invoice to checking if it has been paid.
Software companies can now add features such as creating payment references or QR codes and tracking payments. They will not manage the money themselves and must follow financial rules already in place.
Rachid Saihi, chief executive of CMI, said the move is part of a plan to work closely with software companies and fintech firms. He said it will make paying bills simpler, improve tracking of money flows and help businesses work more efficiently.
Fatourati will still be available directly to companies through an API connection or through “Fatourati Collect”, a web tool that allows businesses to create and follow up on bills without special technical work.
By the end of 2025, Fatourati had handled more than 240 million payments and collected over 220bn dirhams. First used mainly by large public and private groups, the system is now aimed at a wider range of businesses, including small and medium-sized companies, with options that match their level of digital readiness.
