Currently around 1.7 billion of the world’s adult population does not have access to a bank account, leaving them without access to basic financial services. This means that they need to finish money transfers or remittance through face-to-face meetings or via a post office. To help solve this problem, Huawei is devoted to helping operators and banks provide efficient and low-cost mobile financial services, allowing more convenience on transfers, payments and other services.

To make this possible, Huawei’s Mobile Money Solution implements a series of innovations through its platform, experience, and marketing, including by providing: 1) A trusted platform: Adopts advanced HSM hardware encryption technology certificated by PA-DSS (Payment Application Data Security Standard), ensuring transaction integrity and zero data leakage for users. 2) A better experience: Supports read-write separation, over 1,200 concurrent transactions per second (TPS), enabling operators to provide a real time and seamless user experience. 3) Service innovation: Uses over 20 configurable parameters, enabling rapid and flexible new service creation and response to market events. 4) An open ecosystem: Provides over 400 APIs to third parties using multiple protocols including SMPP, HTTP, Diameter, sFTP, ISO 8583, MT940/942 and SOAP.

Huawei’s Mobile Money Solution has already been deployed in 19 countries, serving over 193 million users globally, including in Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, and Bangladesh. Alex Ma, President of Huawei Software Marketing & Solution Sales Department, said, “It is our honor to win the award of ‘Best Mobile Innovation for Emerging Markets’ at Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2018. It indicates the industry’s recognition of the secured, trusted and convenient mobile financial services for customers provided by Huawei’s Mobile Money.
