The company’s vision is to create digital technology solutions that empower and enrich the lives of lower-income consumers in these markets. IMS Ventures works with fintech and telecom service providers to deliver digital finance services and content to their customers.
Business needs and requirements
Recognizing the increasing demand for cashless payment solutions in the transportation sector, IMS Ventures sought to digitize the FairPay transport card system.

IMS Ventures understood the importance of financial inclusion and the potential for economic growth in South Africa through digital transformation. They sought a partner with extensive experience in developing fintech solutions for emerging markets, and Wallet Factory emerged as the ideal candidate due to its vast expertise and flexible cost-efficient Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) model.
