Strategic partnership will enable contactless payments via HUAWEI devices on networks across Africa and the Middle East, including Egypt, South Africa, and Tunisia
Dubai, UAE, 11 April 2021: Huawei Mobile Services has teamed up with Mondia Pay, a digital payments company, to roll out seamless and contactless payments solutions for mobile network operators. Since the commencement of the partnership in September 2020, demand for the implementation of Direct Carrier Billing service (DCB) for seamless, contactless payments for mobile users in the MEA region has grown.
Mondia Pay’s direct carrier billing service integration was launched with Vodafone Egypt and Etisalat UAE. During this quarter the following operators – Ufone Pakistan, Cell C South Africa, Orange Tunisia and Ooredoo Algeria – will go live with the DCB service, following the testing phase.
As a DCB services for consumers, Mondia Pay is available on HUAWEI AppGallery, to facilitate online payments. Subscribers can also now use DCB to access apps on HUAWEI AppGallery, which expands their access to top local and global apps.

We also support the continuous efforts taken towards the transition to cashless societies, which has gained significant traction in the past 12 months,” said Simon Rahmann, CEO of Mondia Pay.
