Under the terms of their MOU, the groups will also share best practice and work together to define the rules and standards of mobile-based remittances in Africa.
Vodafone Director of Mobile Money Michael Joseph said, "Our agreement to connect our mobile money wallets in East Africa is a fantastic example of co-operation and interoperability between competing mobile operators. By working together, we will deliver cheaper, faster money transfers, improving the lives of many people living in the seven countries involved."

Together, we aim to build a scalable model that will accelerate remittance roll-out across the continent."
