Why sell International Top-ups?
- 200 million migrants worldwide send $400 billion in cash back home every year.
- High remittance fees make it difficult for migrants to send small cash gifts home.
....meanwhile:
- 2 out of 3 of the world's mobile phones are prepaid (85% in developing countries).
- In developing countries, telecommunications represent up to 10% of household expenses.
Crediting a prepaid mobile phone abroad (i.e. making an international top-up) has become a proven way for migrants to make low cost, high value gift to their loved ones.
T-Shop makes it simple for retailers to plug into TransferTo's network of 165+ mobile operators in over 65 countries and capitalize on international airtime top-ups, a $20 billion market.

Master resellers
T-Shop can be customized by master resellers wishing to manage and expand an internaional top-up sales network. Master resellers can:

How it works?
The T-Shop airtime transfer service is distributed through retailers at POS (Point of Sales) level via a web browser.
First, customers choose the amount they want to top-up. The shop keeper or clerk behind the counter then proceeds with the international top-up by entering their request into the browser form.
The shopkeeper collects cash only when he/she has received notification that the transaction was successful and that the receiving mobile was properly credited.
