The Business Phone

Due to the enormous amount of work and new product offerings in Kenya and new territories, there has been a delay in producing our usual newsletters.

We expect to send the latest reports, accounts and details of the forthcoming AGM shortly. The last few months have been extremely hectic and more recently was not helped at all by the recent volcanic ash scare.

Don't forget to use the Shareholder Hotline (01747 85 85 98) or the Skype (thebizphone) link on the right for live updates and information.

Regards,

The Business Phone Team

Fresh from his very successful conference at AITEC COMESA in February, our CEO Graham Gilmour is ready to take part in the next big AITEC event on 11-12 May 2010; this time in Lagos where he will be giving the main Showcase Presentation ("Empowering Africa's new mobile merchants") on Day 1 of the two day conference "Thought leadership to survive and thrive through a banking crisis".

A message from the organisers reads:
"Yet again AITEC Africa brings to the Nigerian market an information-rich banking conference programme that is designed to empower the country’s financial services sector with the knowledge it needs to survive and thrive the challenges of sweeping change."

The Business Phone is already seen as being at the forefront of mobile financial services in Africa, and this event will be a chance to consolidate strongly the profile of the company and to open new channels for further development.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 26 - Kenyan banks have reached a two million Visa card milestone up from one million three years ago.

The target which also celebrates a $3.3 billion transaction volume on Visa cards has seen Kenyan banks bring more people into the formal financial services system despite the fact that mobile service providers also provide money transfer services.
