Digital money transfer service WorldRemit has partnered with Chinese smartphone maker Huawei [HWT.UL] to enable the international transfer of money across Huawei’s mobile services in Africa, the companies said on Tuesday.
By engaging in a partnership with Huawei, World remit is increasing it range of customers and made another step forward being considered an international company that allows digital money transfer. The company firstly started in Africa as it has seen it as a potential market because of the lack of availability of financial services.
data from WorldRemit indicates that in 2014, 20.46 per cent of their female customers globally would use mobile money as payout mechanism compared to only 13.99 per cent of men.
First of all, mobile money is significantly cheaper than cash-based remittance services
World remit has introduced an advantage by increasing convenience security, and privacy which has clearly helped a lot in including unbanked females as they are inclined toward this kind of characteristics.
WorldRemit is an online money transfer service that allows people to transfer money to their families in a secure, fast and affordable way.

Worldremit is known for providing its users with affordable money transfers with fees that are often lower than average, yet the transfer is secure affordable and rapid. The main components that made the company successful
The National Communications Authority (NCA) has sanctioned Mobile Network Operator (MNO), MTN Ghana for failing to comply with directives which were sent to them following some challenges with their network recently.
For a company of its calibre, MTN should be very careful in this kind of situations since such "scandals" are not expected from a well-established company.
Vodafone and MTN’s Ghanaian units are allowed to share subscriber data with the government to help it track down the contacts of coronavirus cases, a high court in Accra ruled Tuesday.
The fact that MTN will help the government in tracking down coronavirus cases will most likely benefit the image of the company and increase the trust of its customers.
MTN clearly gained customers' trust and become the most dominant player in the fastest growing mobile money market in Africa. This has definitely raised the barriers to entry for other competitors or traditional banking in the sector.
MTN is a telecommunications operator that was founded in 1994, which was successful as I believe it has predicted that fintech is the future of financial services
MTN Group MTNJ.J, South Africa's largest mobile operator by subscribers, said on Friday it expects 2020 earnings to nearly double, mainly on gains from the sale of Uganda and Ghana tower joint ventures.
MTN is working on achieving a simplified portfolio over the next five year. It has started by paying back its debts with the proceeds made out of selling 49% holdings in Ghana Tower
The divestment strategy is part of MTN’s “asset realisation programme”, initiated in March 2019 to “reduce debt, simplify our portfolio, reduce risk and improve returns”.
A statement issued by MTN read: “This takes the total proceeds received for the disposal of both ATC Uganda and ATC Ghana to R8.9 billion, which will be applied to paying down US-dollar debt and general corporate purposes.”
MTN embarks on a journey to lead and deliver to its customers a bold new digital world, by transforming itself from being a traditional Communications Service Provider to a Digital Services Provider.
In the process of switching from being a communication service provider to becoming a Digital service provider, MTN made a strategic choice of engaging in a partnership with Tecnotree which I find very pertinent to the situation.
MTN Ghana holds the largest market share. As of April 2017 it had a 56.1% share of mobile data services and 46.9% of voice. It also held 59.7% of broadband wireless access through its 4G services.
The firm saw revenue growth of 19.8% in 2016 on the back of its strong performance in the data segment. According to the company’s financial results, data revenue increased by 66% and accounted for 42% of total revenue in 2016 on the back of the launch of a 4G network.
MTN and Ayo engaged in a partnership in order to launch an insurance on mobile money transfer. It was called "send with care" which allowed clients to pay premiums that would cover them in some determined situations.
The Ghanaian unit of African telecommunication giant MTN Group Ltd. is petitioning the highest court to review a declaration that it is a significant market power. Failure could result in stricter regulation.
I believe that MTN is taking a some risk regarding its reputation and customer's trust when it has decided to petition against the highest court in order to review a declaration that is significant in market dominance. If things don't turn out the way they planned, they might be in risk.
MTN made a good move by maintaining its contact with its customers, because after all the challenges and problems in its platform, there is a high risk that it will loose its customers' trust.
Fintech is becoming the biggest sector in Africa, and companies like Jumo are benefiting from it as they are targeting an unsaturated market rich of unbanked people that need inclusion.
At the beginning Jumo started by a founding team that was mainly working in order to prove that data are essentials and that they can predict the future financial behaviour of millions of people that originally didn't have access to finance. So, Jumo's main asset can be considered to be its data analysis that forecasts financial behaviours.
