DALLAS, TX and MUMBAI, INDIA - (NewMediaWire) - January 26, 2017 - MoneyOnMobile
(OTCQX: MOMT)
has expanded its payment network to include business-to-business
(B2B) transactions. International consulting firm McKinsey and
Co. estimates India's 2015 B2B market to be about $15 billion in
total flows. (1) MoneyOnMobile's new product increases its
addressable market beyond consumer-oriented into business-oriented
transactions.
Working with participating banks and the Reserve Bank of India
(RBI), MoneyOnMobile has increased transaction size
limits, allowing businesses to leverage 325,000 MoneyOnMobile
agents to pay for goods and services.
"On a recent trip to Kolkata, I met our local agents who
expressed a need to have a business scale transaction service
growing their revenue by attracting B2B
payments. MoneyOnMobile has opened this large new market,
which will enable MoneyOnMobile to increase our transaction count
and revenue. We are very excited to be moving into B2B payments
while maintaining our growth in consumer payments," said Harold
Montgomery, CEO and Chairman, MoneyOnMobile, Inc.
Ranjeet Oak, President and COO, MoneyOnMobile, added, "Our goal
is to democratize digital payments by making financial services
available to everyone in India -- both individuals and small
businesses -- through our last-mile financial network. With this
new product, we take another step forward to reaching this goal by
allowing businesses, which previously would have transacted mainly
in cash, to have access to digital transactions, which have become
a necessity following the recent demonetization of larger bank
notes in November, 2016."
