MoneyGram, an international money transfer company, is partnering with eTranzact’s PocketMoni to allow accessibility to Nigerian mobile users all over the world. This will allow users of PocketMoni to receive money internationally.
PocketMoni – which works on all GSM networks – would enable customers carry out their transactions with ease, without having to face the “often touted inconvenience” of funds transfer.
The Regional Director for North West Africa MoneyGram International, Mr. Francois Peyretsaid, said, “With about 100 million mobile lines for a population of 150 million, Nigerians will benefit from this when they totally embrace the cashless initiative.”
