MobilityOne Limited
International expansion into both Cambodia and Indonesia
Highlights
• Secures First Contract in Cambodia
• Expansion into Indonesia with Finnet Agreement
• Appointed Third Party Acquirer by MEPS in Malaysia
MobilityOne Limited ('MobilityOne') is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned
subsidiary, MobilityOne Sdn Bhd ('MobilityOne Malaysia') has been appointed by
Telekom Malaysia International(Cambodia) Co., Ltd ('TMIC'), one of the major
telecommunications companies in Cambodia, as its technology partner to provide
the e-voucher and credit transfer platform for its telecommunications
operations in Cambodia. Cambodia's mobile market grew at an annual rate of circa
35% in 2007. The current mobile penetration rate is only 15% with more than 1.5
million mobile subscribers, of which more than 95% are prepaid users.
The contract represents MobilityOne's first entrance into the Cambodian market
and a delivery on its stated strategy of expanding into new geographies. Under
the terms of the deal, MobilityOne will be responsible for, inter-alia, the
supply, delivery, installation, testing and commissioning of the system, and for
the system's maintenance and support.
In addition, MobilityOne Malaysia has incorporated a subsidiary, PT.MobilityOne
Indonesia, in Jakarta, which has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with
PT. Finnet Indonesia ('Finnet') to develop an electronic mobile wallet in
Indonesia. Finnet is a transaction management company which focuses primarily on
switching and shared transactions settlement for all business entities,
especially financial institutions.
Separately, the Group is pleased to announce that it has been appointed as a
third party acquirer ('TPA') for the e-debit scheme run by Malaysian Electronic
Payment System ('MEPS'). MEPS is the sole operator of the national payment
switch in Malaysia which links to the majority of banks for e-debit
transactions. Prior to being granted the status, all e-debit transactions
carried out on MobilityOne's terminals were conducted through a third party with
the TPA status, invoking additional commission charges.
Hussian A. Rahaman, Chief Executive Officer of MobilityOne, commented:
'Third party acquirer status with MEPS will not only add to the bottom line in
terms of a lower commission charges as compared to the past but also provides us
with a greater flexibility for our business operations and direction.
'We are also delighted to have been awarded the contract with TMIC and the
business partnership with Finnet. International expansion is a key part of our
growth strategy as we look to take advantage of our technological competitive
strengths.'
