Calpian–s MoneyOnMobile Has One of the Largest Bases in Mobile Money According to GSMA–s Global Annual Adoption Survey

DALLAS, TX and MUMBAI, INDIA — (Marketwired) — 06/15/16 — Calpian, Inc. (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. The GSMA represents the interests of nearly 800 mobile operators worldwide and conducts an annual study on the state of the global mobile money industry.

“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.”

MoneyOnMobile is a mobile payments service provider allowing Indian consumers to use their mobile phones to pay for goods and services, or transfer funds from one person to another using simple SMS text functionality. The service is now offered to Indian consumers through 313,541 retail locations throughout the country. In April 2016, MoneyOnMobile–s monthly processed transaction volume was Rs 5.234 billion Indian Rupees or $78.1 million US Dollars, an increase of 160% from April 2015. The company processed 10.2 million transactions in April, 2016 and had 7.2 million users, with a repeat user base of 4.3 million.
