telcel
Valista’s partner, hSenid Mobile, a leading provider of mobile solutions in Asia (www.hsenidmobile.com), has built a cash-based top-up solution on Valista’s payments platform to provide operators with the most cost-effective distribution method for prepaid credit in markets where people do not have a banking relationship and prefer to pay for airtime using cash. This technology is in use by Telcel, a leading mobile operator in Mexico, and is regularly processing millions of top-up transactions. Ideally suited for developing markets such as Asia, Africa, South America and Central Europe where mobile phone penetration is high, but where a large proportion of the population remains “unbanked”, cash-based top-up enables small denominations of top-up to be purchased from sellers on the street or in the corner shop. The product eliminates Point of Sale (POS) set-up and distribution and stocking costs associated with other methods such as scratch cards and e-vouchers by using the mobile handset as the POS and the communication medium, leveraging the low costs and high penetration of these devices.
