Mi-Pay, a leading mobile money services provider, has entered into a partnership with Transatel, a European MVNE, to offer the Mi-Pay payment platform to MVNOs.
The partnership with Mi-Pay will enable Transatel to provide its MVNO customers with a leading payment solution for direct channel top-up and access to an international top-up service known as Globaltopup. As a result, Transatel’s MVNO customers will be able to increase their ARPU and reduce churn.
The MVNO market now numbers over 600 operations. Their proliferation is widespread throughout Europe, North America and many Asian countries and more recently the sector has seen launches in the Middle East. The sector contains headline grabbing operations with activities in multiple markets through to small players with revenue positive operations based upon incredibly niche markets. As a sector the MVNO market is incredibly active with launches, buy outs and failures.
