MTN Rwanda has deployed Ericsson's Converged Wallet M-Commerce solution for its next-generation mobile financial services for its subscribers, including mobile phone users that do not have access to traditional banking services. According to Ericsson, MTN Group will ultimately introduce Ericsson Converged Wallet across the operator's footprint over 14 countries in Africa with more than thirteen million mobile money subscribers. Ericsson Converged Wallet enables MTN Rwanda to quickly introduce relevant, new and differentiated mobile wallet end-user services to its mobile money customers. With Ericsson Converged Wallet, MTN can seamlessly launch new offers and bundles that integrate telecom prepaid services with mobile money services.
"Optimizing 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.
