Aepona's Customers

Telcel

Aepona's partner, hSenid Mobile, a leading provider of mobile solutions in Asia (www.hsenidmobile.com), has built a cash-based top-up solution on Aepona's Payments and Settlement Engine (PSE) to provide operators with the most cost-effective distribution method for prepaid credit in developing markets such as Asia, Africa, South America and Central Europe, 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. 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.
