MTN Rwanda has deployed Ericsson’s Converged Wallet m-commerce solution for subscribers.
According to Ericsson, the m-commerce solution includes the converged wallet, systems integration and operational support.
"Optimising the mobile money experience directly impacts consumer stickiness and with Ericsson Converged Wallet, we can now respond rapidly to requirements from consumers and merchants and provide reliable services. Paying your bill or sending money to family and friends has never been easier" said Pieter Verkade, MTN Group chief commercial officer.
Ericsson’s strategic partnership with MTN Rwanda will allow it to access to more than 13m mobile money subscribers throughout 14 countries in Africa.
On the 20th November it was also announced that Ericsson started strategic partnership with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed MTN group to introduce the converged wallet across the operator’s footprint.
