“Providing consumer choice is a essential part of Kash Mart’s core values to our consumers,” said Wendy Kessie, CEO of Kash Mart Americas, Montreal. “Essentially, we are a corridor for all the modalities of sending and receiving money. It was originally the brain child of our Ex Director Mr Kingsle Whyte.”

“Mobile as an emerging financial payments platform delivers on this promise,” she said. “For a consumer, the ability to manage their finances on their terms-whenever and wherever they want to, is a valuable asset and one that Kash Mart will support.”

Kash Mart is a provider of money transfer services to help consumers safely send money around the world with funds arriving at available partner and agent locations.

The network is comprised of 170,000 partner and agent locations worldwide in more than 160 countries and territories.

Kash Mart is currently in discussions with various banking partners and wireless carriers to introduce mobile programs in other regions of the world. The technology is currently based on Symbian and Window Mobile platforms with plans to extend it to the Android and iPhone platforms by December 2010.

The company is aiming to service more agent locations with countries in Africa, Asia, Indo Asia, South America, and CIS countires.
