Client

Vodafone Turkey's mobile payment journey

Vodafone, one of the globally-successful telecommunications companies that has a strong presence in Europe, Asia, and Middle East, first launched its operations in Turkey in 2006. With a global presence, the telco had a wide vision about the ways for a telecom company to grow in the post 2010s, and they first rang our bell in 2014 with a fresh idea for Vodafone Turkey: a mobile wallet payment solution.

Project

Changing the payment scene

The aim with the mobile financial solution was to introduce a new, modern payment method to Vodafone users and easily reach the unbanked and the underbanked in Turkey with an easy-to-use mobile wallet that lets users fly through checkouts and pay points and tills with just one tap.

Challenge

Mobile payment, redesigned

In 2014, there were no other telecommunication companies or any other Turkey-based fintech solution in general that offered a mobile payment solution, which turned out to be both the biggest challenge and excitement point for Tmob, building a brand new product for Vodafone Turkey. After the success of Vodafone Wallet, the company rebranded their mobile payment service as Vodafone Pay, adding brand new features that meet the requirements of modern-day fintech applications.

Why Tmob?

Why vodafone has chosena ready-made, customizable MFS platform?

Vodafone says their biggest motivation behind working with Tmob for its mobile payment service was Tmob’s expertise on the field based on 200 seamlessly-working projects. The industry-leading brand also claims that their journey with Tmob was a standalone unique experience in terms of product road mapping, user experience & user flow, and product lifecycle management.

Vodafone Turkey and Tmob’s partnership has left seven years behind, and it is growing bigger. Today with Vodafone’s satisfaction with the Vodafone Pay project, our partnership is about to go aboard with six more European regions.
