With these two distinct but related core constituencies in mind, - large, connected populations in need of mobile banking services but don’t want to or cannot go to a traditional bank and leading organisations wanting to digitalise their entire customer experience but don’t want to develop their own technologies - MatchMove has developed a proprietary Banking Wallet OSTM that enables ‘Banking As A Service’ to be inserted easily inside any app on any phone.
