In addition, it allows access to mobile financial services through a unique code, # 237#. To access this service, Afriland explains: “the user enters a code that connects him in real time to the platform (SARA By Afriland) to manage and carry out his transactions. Unlike an SMS, there is no storage of information, the data is only available during the opening of the session and then disappears. A simple protocol that does not require an internet connection.
