August 18, 2025 

IBA Group and Berexia payment, a leading consulting and technology services company, are expanding their strategic cooperation in Africa. Earlier this year, the two companies partnered to provide digital transformation and fintech solutions. Their first joint project is a SoftPOS solution launched in Morocco with Al Barid Bank and Royal Air Maroc (RAM).

This launch marks the first successful business case of our joint work with IBA Group. We integrated their tapXphone SoftPOS solution to create a secure and flexible payment service that meets the needs of both travelers and airport staff. The joint project with Al Barid Bank and RAM demonstrates how innovative payment technologies can modify the transport and travel sector.

Transforming Travel at Casablanca International Airport

In July 2025, Royal Air Maroc and Al Barid Bank announced a partnership with a goal to improve the travel experience at the Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca, the largest city in Morocco. The collaboration involves implementation of an integrated mobile application based on IBA Group’s SoftPOS solution tapXphone

As a result, travelers are able to make secure contactless payments by tapping a bankcard or a smartphone on a tablet-equipped terminal. To offer the new payment service, three dedicated counters are deployed at check-in, transit, and boarding areas of the Casablanca’s airport. Trained agents will assist travelers and provide additional services such as purchasing preferred seats, lounge access, or cabin upgrades.

Following the Casablanca airport, plans are underway to expand the solution to other locations, the Paris Orly Airport being among them.

This system reinforces our commitment to offering a smooth, personalized, and digital experience from the moment the customers arrive at the airport. It is part of a comprehensive program to transform the customer journey, from purchasing tickets through our new mobile app and our new website to collecting baggage. This program will run for 12 months, with our ambition being to elevate Casablanca to the status of a leading regional air hub.
