Through this partnership, funds can be sent from countries around the world to millions of mobile wallets across Africa through MFS Africa’s licensed payment rails, launching first in Madagascar. MFS Africa is making barriers matter less with a global footprint and regional offices in Ghana, UK, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, and Mauritius.
MFS Africa’s Group Head of MTOs, Kumar Shourav, explained how groundbreaking this new partnership is and the tremendous benefits it will have for Africans in the long-term. “Western Union is a global leader in cross-border, cross-currency money movement and payments,” he says. “Through this partnership, both organisations will provide customers, businesses and Global Development Organisations across the world with access to convenient payout options in Africa. This will foster better integration between Africa and the rest of the world and will go a long way in supporting financial inclusion across the continent. Therefore, this partnership made complete sense.”
