Masabi StreetVendor mPayments app announced

// July 30th, 2009 // No Comments » // Mobile

My company, Masabi, have just announced our mPayments platform for the developing world – quite funky stuff which breaks the traditional need for operator involvement to handle the sorts of peer-to-peer payments currently transforming Africa and Asia.  You can read more about it on the release, or just listen to Ben demo and explain it all on YouTube.

It’s amazing how slowly news lags development – the app has actually been running in Sudan for some time, and is going to be deployed in other parts of the world soon (details under wraps sadly…).

Great work from everyone involved!

MoMo Global Summit 2008 talk: Securing Transactions

// May 27th, 2008 // No Comments » // Mobile

Last week I gave two presentations at the Mobile Monday Global Summit 2008 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia attending in my role as co-founder of MoMo Estonia, alongside speakers from the Mobile Marketing Association, AdMob and a range of other global names.
It was an excellent event with a very interesting cross-section of speakers and attendees from around the world. Topics covered included mPayments and some great insights into China.
