hyperWALLET Launches Global Mobile Airtime Top-Ups for Canada
Vancouver BC - hyperWALLET Systems, a leading provider of global payment solutions, today announced its launch of a new worldwide mobile airtime top-up service for the Canadian market. The new hyperWALLET service enables consumers to electronically send airtime credits to mobile phones, across more than 70 wireless carriers in 25 countries worldwide. The service is enabled through a platform technology integration and business partnership with TransferTo™, a leading international airtime transfer network provider.
“Cross-border remittances continue to be a major driving force for migrants sending value home to relatives in other countries, particularly for ethnic communities within Canada”, states Lisa Shields, CEO of hyperWALLET Systems Inc. “Through this innovative initiative, hyperWALLET is providing Canadian residents with a new service that complements cross-border money transfer via the sending of small value airtime credits. It enables ethnic communities to purchase airtime minutes to top-up and recharge the prepaid mobile phones of friends and family living abroad, on a worldwide basis.”
To access hyperWALLET’s mobile airtime top-up service, Canadians can signup at http://www.hyperwallet.com or use the integrated hyperWALLET service within their Credit Union's online banking website. Once their hyperWALLET account has been funded, senders simply enter the mobile phone # of their loved one, a greeting message, and select from numerous airtime voucher amounts available. Transactions are processed in real-time, and both the sender and receiver are immediately notified by SMS text message. Airtime credits can also be sent from mobile devices equipped with mobile browsers, and future enhancements are slated to include an SMS command interface capability.
“We’re very excited to work with hyperWALLET as they introduce global mobile airtime top-up services to the Canadian market”, states Eric Barbier, CEO of TransferTo™. “hyperWALLET's position as a global payments provider is a great complement for the Transfer To™ airtime platform, and their new airtime top-up service provides Canadian consumers and expatriate communities with a valuable, innovative and secure way to send airtime credits worldwide.”
