Moroccans who use ORA Technologies’ delivery services will soon have a new way to pay. The company is launching a payment card for customers, delivery drivers and business partners. The card will be offered through Babaa, ORA Technologies’ fintech service. It will use the Mastercard network and will be issued by LANA CASH, a Moroccan payment institution founded in 2019 and a 100% subsidiary of CIH Bank.

Omar Alami, founder of ORA Technologies, wrote in a post on LinkedIn: “We are not a Neo-Bank, we are just a Moroccan fintech that will propose an exclusive payment card powered by Mastercard and issued by LANA CASH to its KOOUL & CATHEDIS clients and partners.”

The card will come in physical and digital versions. Users will be able to use it at local and international merchants that accept Mastercard.

ORA Technologies wants Babaa to connect its food delivery, e-commerce, logistics and payment services.

The company runs three main businesses. KOOUL is a food delivery app. ORA Cash is a mobile wallet and payment service. CATHEDIS is a last-mile delivery company that ORA acquired in September 2025.

KOOUL has between 12,000 and 15,000 active monthly users. CATHEDIS handles about 250,000 e-commerce deliveries each month across Morocco.

ORA Cash reached 50,000 active accounts within five months of its launch. The service allows users to send money instantly, pay bills, make payments through QR codes and access micro-loans.

The new card also targets a common problem in online shopping: cash payments.

Cash on delivery remains widely used by Moroccan online shoppers. Babaa and ORA Cash are designed to help delivery drivers move money collected from customers into digital accounts.

ORA Technologies has raised $11.9m since it was founded in January 2023 by Omar Alami.

Its latest funding round brought in $2.5m in July 2026. That took the total raised in its Series A round to $10m.

“This landmark achievement shows a strong commitment from local investors to the local startup ecosystem, and we are proud and honoured about it,” Alami told Fintech News Africa.

“It proves that local funding alternatives exist for later stages and encourages Moroccan founders to raise more money locally to scale up. We will use the proceeds to accelerate our last-mile business and strengthen our digital cash collection capabilities.”

LANA CASH specialises in national and international money transfers, digital wallets and payment solutions for merchants across Morocco.

Mastercard will provide the payment network and support international transactions.

ORA Technologies says Babaa is part of its wider “E-Morocco for everyone” project.

The company has also made clear that Babaa is not a digital bank.

“We are not a Neo-Bank, we are just a Moroccan fintech.”
