Digital Wallets & P2P

Mobile wallets have become the main financial account for millions of people.

We help telecom operators, banks and fintechs launch and grow wallets that customers use every day, not only to send money once a month.

The challenge

What separates successful wallets

Strategy and design for mobile money and digital wallets: agent networks, P2P transfers, bill payments, wallet cards, tokenisation and cross-border remittances.

01

Many wallets sign up users quickly but struggle with low activity.

02

Cash-in and cash-out networks are expensive to build and manage.

03

Revenue relies too heavily on transfer fees that face competitive and regulatory pressure.

Frequently asked questions

How do mobile wallets make money?

Through transfer and cash-out fees, merchant and bill payments, card interchange, returns on float where regulation allows, and partner services such as lending and insurance.

Why link a card to a wallet?

A wallet-linked virtual or physical card lets customers pay online and at any merchant that accepts cards, which greatly expands where the wallet can be used.

What is tokenisation?

Tokenisation replaces the real card number with a unique token for each device or merchant, so card details are not exposed in mobile and online payments.

How can a wallet increase active users?

By focusing on frequent use cases such as merchant payments, bill payments and salary receipt, and by making cash-in and cash-out easy and reliable.
