Title: DPO Group - the mVisa guys - get $5m to expand in Africa
Post by: Nefertiti on November 01, 2017, 01:47:37 PM

It seems everyone wants a piece of the African payments pie. This guys seem to compete with M-pesa, Pesalink, Equitel, etc. They are internet-based like Paypal. They are bigger in SA, Namibia, Botswana where they want to restrict EcoCash to retail m-commerce.

Internet payments. By integrating merchants, vendors, etc - by single click on mobile app or web. Same space as M-Pesa, EcoCash, Pesalink, etc but they seem to target non-retail - hotel & travel, etc. mVisa uses their API to integrate non-visa payments.
