(OTC PINK: CLPI), a world leader in mobile money solutions through its subsidiary MoneyOnMobile in India, announced that MoneyOnMobile is one of the largest number of unregistered users globally, based on the GSMA Global Annual Adoption Survey for Mobile Money.

“2015 was a tremendous year for the company: we added over 50,000 new agents and increased our monthly processed volume over 250%. Our network of over 310,000 agents across India is bringing financial services to the vast unbanked population in India. Over 600 million people by some estimates, are unbanked which forces them to transact solely in cash. Using MoneyOnMobile, these people can now digitally pay bills, send money to family and friends, buy travel tickets, and participate in eCommerce — all by using their mobile phone,” said Ranjee Oak, President and Founder of MoneyOnMobile.
Harold Montgomery, CEO of Calpian, commented, “Consumers in India have gone from no phone service to over 1 billion mobile phones rapidly. Now, Indian consumers are embracing a shift from cash to mobile payments, skipping bank accounts and plastic cards used for credit and debit card transactions in the West. MoneyOnMobile is driving this transformational change in the country by providing people with the means to convert their physical cash into a digital form conveniently and safely.”
