TORONTO - First Global Data Limited ("First Global" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") to deploy its mobile payment services in Bangladesh with strategic partner Aamra Payment Solutions, a division of Aamra Group ("Aamra").
Aamra has significant penetration in the Bangladesh market having deployed 14,000+ active Point of Sale (POS) terminals, and currently holds a market share of 75%. Aamra solutions are preferred by 14 out of 17 of the leading banks and financial institutions in Bangladesh.
The Bangladesh initiative with Aamra includes a full roll-out of the mobile wallet in Bangladesh with an ecosystem and marketplace for consumers to purchase various goods and services using their mobile phones. The model will be similar to that deployed by the Company in India. Aamra and the Company will work together to bring on strategic partners such as banks and telecom companies, and to penetrate the existing Aamra customer base.
"Aamra is a powerhouse and leader in the technology sector in Bangladesh. Their already established point of sale distribution network and banking relationships will enable us to penetrate the Bangladesh market rapidly and to drive good profitable revenues" said Nayeem Alli, Chief Financial Officer of First Global.
"We are very pleased to have Aamra as our strategic partner for the deployment of our mobile payment solutions in Bangladesh. Our deployment model has been proven in India as we continue to experience significant growth in that market, and we expect to realize rapid penetration in Bangladesh through this key strategic partnership. This is another major step in our global expansion strategy" said Andre Itwaru, Chairman and CEO of First Global.
