Huawei, in cooperation with digital payment entity, Mondia Pay, now offers Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) service, for seamless, contactless payments for users in the Middle East Africa region through HUAWEI Mobile Services (HMS).
Mondia Pay is a digital payment platform that provides a simple, fast and secure way for consumers to pay for services using their mobile phone.
Huawei has been working closely with Mondia Pay, as part of its commitment to supporting developers in the MEA region. The strategic partnership will allow for increased DCB coverage and in-app purchase (IAP) kit capabilities for global developers.
As a result, Huawei and smartphone Honor users in almost 20 countries including, Egypt, South Africa, Tunisia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Madagascar, Liberia and Botswana, will be able to make cashless payments securely without the need for bank cards by downloading the app from Huawei’s Application Store, AppGallery. In addition, Mondia Pay will also market Huawei’s games content in Egypt.
The number of mobile Internet subscribers in Sub-Saharan Africa has quadrupled since the start of 2010 according to World Bank Data and for many consumers, it’s the only way they can get online.
“This new partnership with Huawei is an endorsement of Mondia Pay’s industry expertise and deep routed knowledge of Africa. Customers across the continent will benefit from our fully integrated digital payment technology to make frictionless payments in a fast, safe and secure manner. We also support the natural progression towards cashless societies, fast-tracked by current affairs such as COVID-19,” said Simon Rahmann, CEO, Mondia Pay.
Mondia Pay is available on Huawei’s AppGallery as direct carrier billing and e-wallet services to facilitate online consumer payments. Huawei’s AppGallery allows users to explore the best local and global apps.
Adam Xiao, Managing Director, HMS and Consumer Cloud Service, Huawei Consumer Business Group MEA, said: “We welcome the opportunity to partner with Mondia Pay to provide our users across the MEA region with even more payment options. Mondia Pay allows for contactless payment without the need for bank cards in a safe and secure manner that protects the privacy of users. This partnership is part of Huawei’s ongoing commitment to make it easier for local and global developers to offer their services to millions more people in the MEA region.”
