revolves around the increase in data consumption and the ubiquity of the mobile device.
Consumers are deriving more value from features, functionality and applications. This

turn, gives rise to Smart Cities. Consequently, we have designed our portfolio to support
MNOs in securing a leading position in the digital economy ecosystem," he said.
The Mobile FinaGate is a secure, end-to-end financial services solution. It provides
banks, mobile operators and other financial institutions with a full MFS solution together

revenues and offers solution and business model flexibility while providing short time to

mobile marketing platform providers, Trusted Service Managers (TSM) and Secure Element
(SE) manufacturers. The offering includes an off-the-shelf UICC-based wallet applet,
middleware for Android and iOS and a white label wallet application.
