The Mobile to Merchant to Cash Connection

At the intersection of the wireless and financial services industries that bridge international borders, aKos Technology Corporation is creating a “Virtual Western Union”* that targets the unbanked via mobile remittances. An emerging global market opportunity, “mobile remittances” refers to the convergence of wireless services and money-transfer technologies. Driven by this innovation, the global remittance industry is forecast to grow from $268B in 2006 to $1,000B in 2012.

In order to capitalize on this opportunity, aKos has created the aKos Mobile Remittance Gateway that allows seamless yet cost-effective, convenient and secure mobile remittance services via its unique methodology. aKos is the solution to monetize this untapped segment.
