Digital service and security developments in Mozambique

Overview

Digital service developments in Mozambique have focused on increasing financial inclusion and enhancing telecommunications security.

Millennium bim introduced the ‘Smart IZI Mahala’ feature to eliminate mobile data costs for users of its Smart IZI application. This initiative seeks to remove connectivity barriers to digital banking, allowing customers to manage accounts and perform transfers without physical branch visits.

Concurrently, the National Communications Institute of Mozambique (INCM) launched the NUTEL App to secure subscriber data and combat fraud. The application utilizes a ‘proof-of-life’ mechanism via real-time photograph validation to ensure registered data matches account holders. This move follows reports that approximately 25% of mobile network devices in the country are counterfeit and addresses industry challenges regarding identity fraud and unauthorized SIM card transfers.
