Cash Plus continues to execute its growth strategy by rapidly expanding its physical presence and continuously enriching its digital payment suite. The newly introduced instant‑transfer service and QR‑code payment solution align the group with Morocco’s fast‑evolving digital‑payment habits, setting the stage for broader adoption.
Money‑transfer activity, while delivering a 10% rise in commissions, faced a modest calendar‑related drag because Ramadan and Eid al‑Fitr shifted one week later compared with the prior year. Nonetheless, the segment remains a key driver of revenue.
The social‑impact PNB, which reflects the group's contribution to community‑focused banking, stood at MAD 181 million at the end of March 2026.
Overall, the quarter underscores Cash Plus’s position as the market leader in territorial coverage and a catalyst for financial inclusion through both brick‑and‑mortar and digital channels.
