B-Post launches PosoMoney

BotswanaPost has launched a new innovative service to its products and services offering dubbed ‘PosoMoney’. PosoMoney is a mobile wallet service that works on any phone and any mobile network.

PosoMoney users will be able to perform a host of different transactions such as:

The new service is available on all types of phones; that is both smartphones and feature phones.
