Built on Fundamo’s technology, the mobile money technology was acquired by Visa in 2011 and now is spread in over 30 countries being hosted in Visa managed data centers.

Pioneer programmes have been done to unbanked consumers. Aircel mobile in India and Bank of Kigali and Urwego Opportunity Bank in Rwanda are providing their customers’ access to a financial account that is linked to their mobile phone number. The Visa’s service allows customers to make cash-in and -out transactions at agent locations, pay bills, send money to relatives, top-up air time and buy train tickets.
