“This alliance exemplifies our commitment to continuous innovation in the mobile money space,” commented Manoranjan Mohapatra, CEO, Comviva. “Selection by Western Union, a global leader in money transfer services and cross-border transactions, is further recognition of Comviva’s leadership in extending mobile money services to under-served segments globally.

Western Union is certifying mobile platform vendors to reduce integration costs and accelerate go-to-market activities for banks and mobile operators by creating standard technical deployments. Once a bank or mobile operator contracts with Western Union to activate the Western Union® Mobile Money Transfer service, its consumers will be integrated with Western Union's core transaction processing system. This system supports Western Union's global network of more than 350,000 Agent locations in over 200 countries and territories. MMT is currently available through select Agent locations as Western Union embarks on a program to extend availability to more locations during 2010.
