Angola, with a population of around 39.30 million people, has a GDP of approximately 113.34 billion making it the 68th largest economy in the world. The official currency of Angola is the Angolan Kwanza (AOA)
Angola's economy is heavily dependent on its oil and diamond sectors, which together account for almost all of its exports and a large portion of its GDP. It is a member of OPEC, with China being its most significant trade partner for oil exports.
The dominant payment method in Angola is the Multicaixa card, the country's national debit card system, which is used universally for ATM withdrawals, online payments, and point-of-sale transactions.

Mobile payment solutions like Orange Money are also growing in popularity due to their accessibility, allowing users to manage payments and transfers from their phones.
