The mobile wallet service is driven by a mobile application, which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and Apple store. Anyone with a mobile handset can download the app and use it as the service is telecom operator and bank agnostic.

Cash needs to be loaded into the mobile wallet, once the user has downloaded the app.  Cash can be loaded into the wallet through a credit card, debit card or by going to selected corporate outlets such as “The Mobile Store.”

The company has already processed over two billion payment transactions, through banking websites, small retail and modern retail chains.

The company has partnered with a Singapore headquartered Company called Fastacash to provide this service.  Fastacash is a global platform which allows its users to transfer airtime, money and other token of values through social networking sites.
