KDDI America

New York and Singapore, March 23rd, 2010 - KDDI America, who provides a leading prepaid mobile service for migrants, has successfully launched in partnership with TransferTo™ a cross-border top-up service.

Migrant workers, travelers and foreigners who are using KDDI America prepaid mobile phone in the USA may now recharge the prepaid mobile phone of their relatives back home. To perform an international top-up, the sender simply needs to select by SMS the amount denomination and indicate a destination number. Transaction is processed in real-time through TransferTo™ secure platform; both sender and receiver are immediately notified by SMS.

“With the international top-up service, KDDI America is now proposing an ideal solution to complement its expatriate subscribers’ regular money remittances, by enabling easy, real time and secure sending of small-value amounts to friends and family members back home” says Toshiro Akiyama of KDDI America.

TransferTo™, the global airtime transfer company, announced its partnership with hyperWALLET Systems Inc., a leading provider of worldwide payment solutions, to offer cross-border airtime transfer for Canada.

The service is mainly offered to foreign communities, international workers, and visitors who maintain strong ties with their families and relatives abroad.

Although they remit part of their earnings every month directly to the household head, they lack an appropriate service for sending smaller amounts to their family and friends. This new service addressing the Canadian market complements cross-border money remittances with the repeated sending of small value airtime recharges. TransferTo comes as the perfect solution for giving out airtime recharges as a gift on special occasions such as birthdays, religious events, festivals or celebrations. With mobile phones becoming tools of economic empowerment in developing countries, airtime recharge transfer is increasingly regarded as a key mobile feature by migrants and their family back home.

“We are excited to partner with TransferTo in this initiative, as we believe the untapped Canadian market will benefit from TransferTo’s extensive expertise and service coverage”, states Lisa Shields, CEO of hyperWALLET Systems Inc. “hyperWALLET's position as a global payments provider is a great complement for the TransferTo™ airtime platform, and their airtime top-up service provides Canadian consumers and expatriate communities with a valuable and innovative way to send airtime credits worldwide.”
