The service is now offered to Indian consumers through 313,541 retail locations throughout the country, which is an increase of 2,865 stores from March–s 310,676 stores. The company continues to transform the lives of people in India through its wide array of services and its country-wide mobile payment network. These customers have historically been underserved by the traditional financial services industry.
Ranjeet Oak, Co-Founder and President of MoneyOnMobile, commented, “We continue to add stores to our network and increase the reach of MoneyOnMobile services, digging deeper into large and small metropolitan areas where financial services are needed. Many of our customers are migrant laborers for whom traditional banking is not available or is not a good fit. We are serving the needs of this population every day.”
“April processing volumes were affected by 12 public national and state holidays during which our customer base, which has a large segment of migrant laborers, returned home for several weeks and do not need to send money. Domestic remittances declined during the month, while other transaction types were not affected as much,” says Harold Montgomery, Calpian Chief Executive Officer.
MoneyOnMobile recognizes revenue for transactions as services are performed and when the digital currency is transferred from a consumer–s wallet. Revenue varies depending on the type of transaction. Total processed volume includes consumer wallet inbound load amounts and outbound purchase transaction amounts since each is considered a separate transaction under industry norms. Processed volume and other statistics cited herein are intended to be used as general indicators of growth only.
