MAP International deploys electronic financial infrastructure and utilizes integrated electronic identification and mobile financial technology in order to bring banking services to the unbanked in developing countries.Up to 95% of the developing world population is ignored by traditional financial institutions due to deterring infrastructure costs. MAP aspires to bring these unbankable people into the formal economy by leveraging existing infrastructure and technology in these countries. After obtaining biometric data, MAP issues a financial identification card that connects the card-holder to a host of products and services via access points throughout the country, including ATMs, Point of Sale units, and mobile banking. This transformation from a cash-based, unregulated economy to a secure, formal economy is a leapfrog growth opportunity that yields immediate benefits and prepares fertile ground for future investment into the country.
MAP is currently operational in Uganda. We have completed two phases of ATM deployments, and a network of agent-based Point of Sale (POS) terminals has been launched across the country that will serve as access points to the full MAP offering. We hope to launch mobile banking as well in the next quarter.
