Mobile Wallet

The world over, mobile phones are used as powerful tools to provide financial access to previously unbanked or under-banked consumers. Monitise’s Mobile Wallet is a virtual account, which enables our customers – mobile networks, banks and other consumer brands – to offer their consumers the ability to deposit and withdraw funds, transfer money and make payments using their mobile device. It can function as an independent virtual account or be used to complement an existing bank or prepaid card account.

 

Monitise believe that Mobile Wallet has the potential to be the catalyst for positive change and economic growth in developing countries by empowering unbanked consumers.   

 

Comprehensive services suite

Mobile Wallet offers a wide range of mobile-centric financial services and payments. In addition to standard Mobile Wallet capabilities such as deposit (cash-in), withdraw (cash-out) and funds transfer to family and friends (person to person payments), Monitise’s product enables a range of additional services such as merchant payments, bill payments, salary disbursements and international remittances.

 

Additionally, a set of comprehensive alert features (e.g. low balance alert), full-scale support for agent networks and KYC management are built into the product.
