AppDate: MTN ramps up international transfers
In his latest app roundup, SEAN BACHER focuses on MTN Homeland, big growth in FNB’s eWallet spend, Nedbank’s Money App Lite, Afri Ride and iKhokha Vend.
iKhokha, which provides mobile payment solutions to independent businesses, has partnered with the Massmart Group to launch new prepaid products and services. These facilitate payments for cellular services like prepaid airtime and data bundles, prepaid utilities such as electricity and water, as well as payments for DSTV, Telkom, Pay@, Easypay, traffic fines and municipal bills.
iKhokha CEO, Matt Putman, says: “In the informal market prepaid has always been a heavily cash-based service. In this tough economy our small and medium enterprise (SME) customers are looking for increased security as well as new income streams. We have developed a digital solution called iKhokha Vend, built on our existing retail distribution partnership with the Massmart Group. This enables SMEs to purchase a card machine in any Game, Builders Warehouse or Makro store nationally. The prepaid partnership now allows us to take advantage of Massmart’s significant buying power with prepaid suppliers, so that we can collectively pass on the additional value to our iKhokha SME merchant base.”
