Telecom Digital wallet

Unlock new business opportunities with omni-digital telecom wallet.

Mobile Money is going through the next level of evolution with Telcos focusing on offering comprehensive & interoperable MoMo service to align with the customer’s financial journey.

The extraordinary growth of digital payments, with 300 Million plus monthly active mobile money accounts and 2 bn dollar daily transactions, has created new customer segments who need more than vanilla payments like the merchant who uses a wallet as a primary account or the gig economy worker who wants to buy insurance or get a microloan with the same digital platform.

This calls for a new generation of customer experience with inbuilt security and governance to meet the banking regulations. Plus, telcos need to align their own and ecosystem partner offerings to win and serve these customers digitally with persona-based recommendations to cross-sell and upsell relevant products across channels and interactions.

In a nutshell, telcos need an omni-digital solution that helps them in the complete customer journey from Digital sales & onboarding to Transactions and engagement for cross-sell/upsell across own and third-party channels like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

As per GSMA, one in every 20 P2P transactions is now made across provider networks, that’s a huge barrier to adoption as Interoperability restricted by USSD network or such legacy infrastructure can easily be replaced with Digital channels like WhatsApp for operator agnostic seamless transactions.
