Who we are

While making cash payments and transfers businesses often face high fees, long duration of the execution of transactions as well as sometimes-such kind of transactions have an enhanced level of risk.  Delays, complex manual processes, no transparency, and high fees from traditional banking services also posed huge challenges for sellers.    

Taking into account the analysis of market conditions and financial inclusion strategy, we have developed a “mobile financial supermarket” of services for customers who will have the opportunity to open a personal wallet within marketplace platform, top-up it, make cheap and fast local transfers, payments for goods / services in time, order a prepaid debit card linked to the open account, as well as other services.

As the customers will use our services, they receive greater spending power, reduce the risk of theft, lower cash-handling costs, increase turnover, save time and all they need is mobile phone or computer.  

Key competitive advantages
  • Free of charge to deposit and withdraw money*
  • Eliminating of additional banking or intermediary fees while making trading
  • Fast processing and availability of real-time transactions
  • Effective support and worldwide rep offices

*In case of selling e-voucher (cash collection) Hopeland charges 1.5% fee
