Maroc Telecom Launches HomeSend
Paris, 19 July, 2010
BICS, a leading global provider of voice, data and value added services, and
eServGlobal Limited (LSE: ESG & ASX: ESV), a provider of smarter transaction
management solutions in Payment, Retention and Value Added Services, today
announced that Maroc Telecom is live on the HomeSend remittance service.
The agreement provides Maroc Telecom's 15 million subscribers with the
opportunity to receive mobile remittances to/from Belgium. In particular,
MobiSud (previously owned by Maroc Telecom and now part of Belgacom's affiliate
Scarlet) subscribers will be able to send money to their families in Morocco on
their mobile phone number. According to the World Bank, Morocco receives more
than $US4.6 billion annually in international remittances and this figure is
continuing to grow.
This brings the total number of potential receiving subscribers on HomeSend to
nearly 40 million with Maroc Telecom joining Globe Philippines on the hub.
Shortly other European and developed countries will join Belgium on the HomeSend
hub service as the list of sending parties grows.
HomeSend is BICS and eServGlobal's leading international remittance solution,
and the only mobile-centric international remittance hub endorsed by the GSMA.
It allows subscribers to transfer funds from anywhere, using only their mobile
phone and any type of funds, such as airtime and cash. Various fund sources can
be used, such as eWallets, bank accounts and credit cards. HomeSend transfer
fees are also significantly less than those of traditional international
remittance avenues.
International remittances have already become a significant portion of mobile
payments, allowing subscribers to easily and quickly transfer money
internationally using their mobile phones, and the market is continuing to grow
as it allows access to unbanked populations. According to Informa Telecoms &
Media, by 2013, the global international MMT gross transaction value is expected
to reach $US47.9 billion.
Frederic Schepens, SVP Mobile Financial Services at BICS said "We are proud to
continue opening key international remittance corridors for operators across
global regions. Maroc Telecom's launch of HomeSend will ensure that they are the
market leader for mobile money in Morocco."
"We are continually looking for ways to help operators increase their service
offering at minimal cost", commented Craig Halliday, COO of eServGlobal. "We are
pleased to be able to deliver HomeSend's much needed service to Moroccan
subscribers and their communities and look forward to assisting further
operators in the region."
