Huawei has signed an agreement with digital money transfer service firm WorldRemit to offer mobile-to-mobile money transfers in Africa.
Under the agreement, WorldRemit’s international money transfer service will be available to all partners of Huawei’s mobile money service platform across Africa.
The agreement enables Huawei to add a ready-made solution for remittances to its existing suite of services.
Huawei will allow WorldRemit to connect to more than 100 million mobile accounts currently using Huawei’s platform, thereby improving access to mobile money remittance for millions of people.
