Vodacom Tanzania has unveiled its brand new M-Pesa platform (second generation platform) which, among other things, will make the mobile money service faster, more robust and with less downtime while offering customers more services via the advanced platform.
The newly improved platform, which is now hosted in Tanzania, will enable Vodacom to respond faster to its customer needs as well as offer new additional products and services. "We have built the best mobile money world-class platform.
And I’m proud to say, given the work done on this platform Tanzanians have an excellent opportunity to grow mobile money and specifically M-Pesa," Vodacom’s Chief Officer for M-Commerce, Sitoyo Lopokoiyit said at the launching event in Dar es Salaam over the weekend. "
This will result into a situation where innovation is not only about Vodacom, Innovation is about the customers, the businesses and Tanzanian developers connecting on this platform to deliver services for their customers, and that is the essence of this platform.”
Mr Lopokoiyit said G2 was about delivering the next wave of mobile money in Tanzania and noted through the new platform, Vodacom would position itself as the enabler of financial services in the country.
"I see Vodacom opening up our M-Pesa network to new partners so that we can deliver new services to the market such as savings & loans, online payments, insurance and the endless options of financial products.
G2 is going to take Tanzania forward at a more rapid pace than it has ever done before into becoming the world best mobile money eco system," he said. Huawei Tanzania Managing Director, Bruce Yang expressed hope that M-Pesa services would not be an ordinary mobile money platform as it would include new features and will have more capacity.
"We have a dedicated team of highly qualified professionals who ensure that Tanzanians enjoy World class solutions through our excellent end to end Technology. We have been impressed with the great partnership that we have received from Vodacom throughout that led us to complete the project ahead of schedule,’ he said.
