SocGen picks sound-based payments for mobile banking in Africa

Société Générale launches Yup, a new alternative to the traditional banking model in Africa — Société Générale — “Based on an agency banking model, ie a network of third-party agents with whom the bank has formed partnerships (service stations, distribution trade, etc), Yup is accessible via an expanded network of distributors equipped with adapted terminals and, of course, via the mobile banking app of Société Générale’s different banks throughout Africa.”
