Moneybookers

As the penetration of handsets continues to expand and users move towards widespread adoption of the mobile phone, banking customers are increasingly demanding mobile access to their accounts. Moneybookers were quick to understand that their customers didn't want to be chained to their offices or be required to stay in front of the PC's when transacting on the Internet. They therefore embarked on finding a suitable mobile solution to offer mobile SMS alerts on transactions for over 5 million eWallet customers.

Clickatell's mobile banking product solutions proved to be the best choice for Moneybookers in terms of global reach, performance and price point to deliver the millions of monthly SMS alerts around the world that are essential to the interactivity, relevance and fun of their service for members.

Moneybookers now offer mobile SMS alerts on transactions to over 5 million eWallet customers. Customers can now receive text notifications directly to their cell phone anytime, anywhere, when purchases are completed, goods are mailed or money transfers are wired. This brings an advantage in terms of security, as customers always have an overview of the transfers on the account and can cancel unwanted transactions immediately. A pioneer in the application of payment systems into new formats and technologies using channels such as Facebook, Moneybookers is now also a leader in the evolution of online banking to mobile banking with the launch of an SMS-based system powered by Clickatell.
