In our global world, an enormous number of people has migrated from their native countries. In spite of vast distances between their old and new homes, migrants often maintain strong relationships with friends and family, even providing financial assistance in the form of top-up transfers, which enable everyone to stay connected via their pay-as-you-go mobile phone accounts. In many countries, the only way to do this is via Money Transfer Services. These are costly as well as cumbersome to deal with, especially in regard to mobile phone top-ups, since the money has to be redeemed before a pay-as-you-go voucher can be purchased.

 Although very common in the US and the UK, the topic is not overly present in the German speaking markets, which tend to overlook and underrepresent the different migrant target groups. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland about 10% of the population has a migration background, and Transpaygo is focusing on the main migrant groups.

TOP UP MOBILE PHONES GLOBALLY

Transpaygo FonMoney is a Top Up Service with very low transaction fees and realtime transfer. Customers can buy vouchers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and redeem the voucher code to top up their friends' and family's pay-as-you-go mobile phone numbers back home. Transpaygo connects to the mobile carriers in the target countries and operates a cooperative distribution network in the source countries.

step-by-step

FONMONEY STEP-BY STEP

To use the top-up service, the customers first buy a voucher at a point of sale or online.   The code on the voucher can be redeemed via an IVR phone hotline or entered on the Transpaygo website.   Transpaygo's platform initiates the top-up process with the mobile operator in the target country.   The recipients of the top up can use it to call, text and browse with their phones.
