Excitingly, plans are already in motion to enable SIM card purchases and mobile money transactions at these widespread agent points in the coming months, making it even easier for Ugandans to join and transact on the Talkio network.

Beyond the expansive agent network, Talkio Mobile will strategically leverage Interswitch’s advanced payment processing infrastructure. This includes robust support for card payments, mobile money, and a suite of other digital payment solutions. This deep integration will significantly enhance Talkio Mobile’s self-service channels and payment aggregations, ensuring secure, efficient, and reliable transactions for all customers.

The partnership seamlessly integrates Interswitch’s renowned expertise in financial inclusion with Talkio Mobile’s cutting-edge telecom offerings. This strategic move aligns perfectly with Talkio Mobile’s commitment to providing customer-centric services and actively fostering financial inclusion across Uganda, particularly in underserved areas.
