Visa plans overseas QR payments for APAC digital wallet users

Globe Telecom CEO Ernest Cu said the operator group’s fintech division may go public as the company looks to diversify its business away from traditional telco revenue drivers.  

South African telco MTN said on Tueday that its API marketplace Chenosis is partnering with TransUnion Africa to launch a solution that uses mobile phone call data records (CDRs) to assess credit scores for people seeking access to financial services.

Uganda has been making headlines in the digital commerce world recently thanks to news involving two of its leading operators, Airtel and MTN, and leading payment enablers Network International and Mastercard.
