Problem
More than half of prepaid mobile subscribers lack a modern handset, leaving unused data, airtime, and lifetime value on SIMs that operators already own. Operators struggle to offer affordable smartphone financing without taking on credit risk or having to rebuild billing and collections infrastructure.
Solution
Mission Mobile provides a complete device financing and fulfilment platform for mobile operators and channel partners. The company takes on the full credit exposure, allowing operators to retain the subscriber relationship while offloading the credit book. A customer receives a real offer in minutes, with an acceptance decision that is checkable on the spot, enabling the customer to take a smartphone before leaving the store. The platform is delivered through APIs and middleware that sit alongside existing operator systems, adding value immediately and integrating deeper over time. The platform is engineered for national roll-outs and peak-season traffic, handling high-volume environments without requiring re-platforming.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mobile network operators and channel partners (dealers and distributors) in South Africa seeking to increase smartphone penetration among prepaid subscribers without taking on credit risk.
