About us

Why we are building PayMeDaba

In Morocco, paying a friend back or sharing a cost still too often depends on change nobody has or a RIB someone has to read out. PayMeDaba wants to fix that.

Our mission

Money moves between people every day: your share of the flatshare rent, Friday ftour, the ghrama at a wedding, a group present for a colleague. These exchanges are simple in intent and awkward in practice. You hunt for change, queue at a counter, or send a bank transfer that lands the next day.

PayMeDaba is a person-to-person payment app built for those moments. The goal: giving or returning money to someone close should feel as natural as sending a message. Daba means "now" in Darija. That is our promise: the money arrives now, not tomorrow.

Transparent fees

We chose one fee that is easy to understand: 0.1% on transfers between users, paid by the sender and rounded up to the next centime. Receiving money, card top-ups, withdrawals to a RIB and opening an account are not charged. No subscription. The fee is shown before every confirmation, and all worked examples are public on the pricing page.

Security first

An app that moves money has to earn its users' trust. At PayMeDaba every transfer, payment and withdrawal is confirmed with a 6-digit PIN, top-ups go through the bank's 3-D Secure page, and every movement is written to an accounting ledger reconciled with balances. We explain it all without jargon on the security page.

Built for Morocco

PayMeDaba is designed for life in Morocco: amounts in dirhams, mobile numbers starting 06 and 07, withdrawals to the 24-digit Moroccan RIB, identity checks with the national ID card. Our examples are about petit taxis, ftour and flatshares in Casablanca or Rabat, because that is where money between friends really moves.

In French, Arabic and English

The app and this website are available in French, Arabic and English. Everyone should understand what they pay and what they agree to in the language that feels most natural to them. The app also has a dark mode.

Where we are

PayMeDaba is not available yet. Launch is planned after obtaining Bank Al-Maghrib approval. Until then we publish no user numbers, no reviews and no promised dates. To hear when it opens, join the waitlist. To write to us, all our addresses are on the contact page.

Frequently asked questions

What does "PayMeDaba" mean?

"Pay me" is English, and "daba" means "now" in Darija. The name sums up the idea: get paid or paid back right away, without waiting.

Who is PayMeDaba for?

People aged 18 or older who live in Morocco and want to exchange money with those close to them: friends, family, flatmates, colleagues. You need an email address and a Moroccan mobile number starting with 06 or 07.

Is PayMeDaba available yet?

No. Launch is planned after obtaining Bank Al-Maghrib approval, on iPhone and Android. You can join the waitlist with your email address to be told when it opens.

How does PayMeDaba make money?

From the 0.1% fee on transfers between users, paid by the sender. It is the only fee: no subscription, and no fee for top-ups, withdrawals or keeping an account.

Can I send money abroad with PayMeDaba?

No. PayMeDaba is for exchanges in dirhams between users living in Morocco. It does not offer international transfers.

Can PayMeDaba split a cost between several people?

Yes, in a simple way: whoever paid sends a payment request to each friend, one by one, and each friend pays their own request with their PIN. There is no shared account or group balance; everyone keeps their own balance.

Be among the first.
