Inov8 and Mobilink Launch Mobilink Genie, A new global benchmark in Mobile Commerce Services – No Wallet, No Plastic, No Paper
Ever wondered what it would be like if you could do all conceivable financial transactions securely from the comfort of your mobile phone? Want real time information? Well, wait no more – Genie has arrived, riding the coat-tails of Inov8’s GSM-FT (Global System for Mobile Financial Transactions).
The first leg of the global roll out for the Genie service is officially underway. Launching exclusively with Mobilink in Pakistan, it is a truly secure, one of a kind, mobile payments/commerce system, which sets a new global benchmark in mobile commerce services. Everything from multiple bill/utility payments, mobile bill payments, prepaid airtime top-up, insurance premium payments, selling of new micro insurance products, credit card payments and a number of other services are available from your Mobilink phone, anytime and anywhere. A host of new offerings, currently under integration, are expected to be rolled out over the next few quarters, including travel and leisure, fast food home delivery services, retail payments, interbank fund transfers, stock trading and micro payments.
Inov8 is extremely proud of the fact that this model for mobile commerce has been deployed first in Pakistan, before being available anywhere else in the world. The entire solution was conceived, developed and deployed in Pakistan over the course of the past four years, and is arguably the largest systems integration effort in the country’s history, bringing mobile and telecommunication networks, banking systems, billing systems at utility companies and other service providers on to one platform, Genie. Mobilink Genie has access to approximately 70 Million accounts at different organizations.
This effort would not have been possible without the dedicated believers at Inov8 and an extremely aggressive and forward looking team at Mobilink, whose combined vision and courage helped implement a new global benchmark. The effort of all our other founding partners including KASB Bank, Citibank, Atlas Bank, Adamjee Insurance, McDonalds, the Lahore Electric Supply Company, and other utility companies across the country was monumental.
For banks and service providers looking for a secure, anytime and anywhere mobile channel for customers, we have offered an open and inclusive platform across all industries using the Software as a Service (SaaS) model to drive down the total cost of ownership. For consumers, we are bringing a new mobile lifestyle, the next generation in convenience. Registration is an SMS away. Paying for products and services, anytime and anywhere from your Mobilink Genie enabled phone takes just a few clicks.
Welcome to Mobilink Genie, a world where the mobile phone is viewed as much more than a plain communication tool. It is viewed as the central focus of your life, delivering cutting edge lifestyle and financial services, backed by our in depth R&D programs.
