MobilityOne Limited

("MobilityOne", the "Company" or the "Group")

 

MobilityOne partners with Wibmo

 

MobilityOne (AIM: MBO), the e-commerce infrastructure payment solutions and
platform provider, is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Wibmo (a
PayU company) in Malaysia to support the issuance of Mastercard prepaid cards
through its prepaid platform Wibmo Hexa.

 

While this partnership is not expected to have a material impact on the
Group's revenue or earnings in the current financial year, with this
partnership, Wibmo and MobilityOne are all set to foray into the Malaysian
prepaid card market and offer various prepaid programs catering to consumers,
corporates, the Government and the Health sector.

 

By using Wibmo's feature-rich and API-first prepaid card platform Hexa,
MobilityOne will be able to support various prepaid cards like fleet cards,
employee/corporate benefits, subsidy cards, gift cards, travelers' cards, and
other B2B and B2B2C prepaid solutions. The Hexa platform is equipped to handle
key business use cases and comes pre-integrated with Wibmo's proven Access
Control Server (ACS) for real-time fraud detection & prevention using its
dynamic CNP Risk Engine along with the prowess of EMV 3D secure protocol's
built-in features.

 

This partnership has been entered into at a time when the Malaysian prepaid
card market is expected to record a CAGR of 14.4%, an increase from US$6.06
billion in 2022 to US$10.40 billion by 2026 according to PayNXT360's analysis.
MobilityOne has been providing prepaid card solutions to various corporates in
Malaysia. With Hexa, Wibmo's API-first prepaid card platform, MobilityOne will
support all prepaid form factors, be it a physical, virtual card, or a mobile
wallet, as well as many advanced features such as just-in-time funding,
deferred authorisation, and others.

 

Wibmos CEO, Suresh Rajagopalan, added, "We are thrilled to share the news of
our collaboration with MobilityOne, as we make our foray into the Malaysian
prepaid card market. Our goal is to empower the market with a tech-integrated
payment system, and we believe that the time is ripe for disruption. The Hexa
platform from Wibmo will serve as the foundation for MobilityOne to offer a
variety of Mastercard-based prepaid products. By joining forces, we aim to
make a substantial impact on the payment card industry in Malaysia and broaden
our footprint across Southeast Asia."

 

MobilityOne's CEO, Dato' Hussain A Rahman, stated, "As a leading electronic
transactions and payments solution provider in Malaysia, we are committed to
enhancing our payment offerings and expanding our presence in the market. We
are proud to have obtained our license to issue Mastercard prepaid cards in
Malaysia in 2021, and since then, we have been providing prepaid card
solutions to various entities in the country. In choosing a partner, we found
Wibmo's Hexa Platform to be the ideal choice due to its comprehensive
technology stack that offers issuing and acquiring capabilities for our B2C
and B2B use cases. Additionally, Wibmo's auxiliary offerings in 3D-Secure,
fraud detection, identity management, and digital banking make them a
complementary partner to go to market with."
