Amdocs, the leading provider of customer experience solutions, Wednesday announced that Norway’s three leading operators ‒ Telenor, TeliaSonera and Tele2 ‒ have selected the Amdocs Mobile Financial Services solution to advance their Strex joint venture for mobile payments. The solution will enable Strex to offer end users a single mobile wallet service with multiple funding and payment options, including bank account, credit card or debit card, or use their carrier billing for mobile purchases.
Hege Kosberg, chief executive officer of Strex
Mobile financial services are already very popular in Norway, with Strex handling more than 75 million SMS-based payment transactions annually. Once we launch our single mobile wallet, we will be able to offer our customers the most convenient shopping experience with a wide choice of funding and payment options, as well as provide merchants with a state-of-the-art platform for marketing their goods with integrated loyalty programs.
Patrick McGrory, division president for Amdocs’ Emerging Offerings
Mobile financial services present a huge market opportunity for both developing and developed markets. The fact that our solution is being deployed in Norway shows that the convenience and speed of mobile financial services are attractive for everyone. By combining technology with a dedicated set of services, and offering a payment platform to support customers of different operators, Amdocs can help the Strex partners overcome interoperability challenges and ensure maximum operational cost-efficiencies.
