Mondia Pay expands fintech opportunities with new partnership

Ecommerce brand Mondia Pay has partnered with Vodacom’s M-Pesa financial service to offer the company’s online content on the Vodacom Tanzania network.

Customers can use the Mondia Pay and M-Pesa payment option to access entertainment such as sports, films, and games.

Previously, Vodacom Tanzania customers used airtime balances via SMS and USSD to subscribe to Mondia’s digital services. The Company’s services include PlayInc., MyMuze, and Vodacom Premier League.

“This new M-Pesa payment option, enabled by Mondia is a critical component of our digitisation agenda and increases accessibility for our customers to the Mondia digital services offering,” Vodacom Tanzania’s Director of Digital Services, Nguvu Kamando said in a statement.

“The use of M-Pesa, a leading mobile financial service accessible to over 13 million customers in Tanzania with a robust agent network across the country, will offer increased flexibility and ease-of-payments for our customers.”

The content collaboration also paves the way for other opportunities for Mondia’s premium partners and merchants.

“The future of fintech is going to be driven by innovative partnerships that offer compelling and convenient consumer solutions,” Mondia Pay CEO, Simon Rahmann said in a statement.

“We also support the continuous efforts taken towards the transition into cashless societies, which has gained significant traction in the past 12 months.”
