Tagattitude

Tagattitude greets 2012 with new deployments, new technologies, and a growing team.

On behalf of everyone at Tagattitude, we wish you a very happy and successful 2012.

This past year, the mobile money landscape has undergone some important evolutions. Tagattitude is thrilled to have been involved in many of the new services, technology trends, and deployments that took place in 2011.

We wish to share some of Tagattitude's 2011 highlights as well as our hopes and vision for 2012.

New Projects and Services Deployed

With new projects in Eritrea, Madagascar, Guinea Conakry, Haiti, Ghana, and more, Tagattitude is now active in over 30 countries!

In 2011, several of our partners launched their services and are all experiencing impressive growth:

Celpaid in the Ivory Coast has adopted an innovative set of services including tuition payment, salary disbursement, and much more.

MPeso has launched their service for the unbanked in Nicaragua and is the first company to obtain the financial operations license in Central America.

E-social transfer has launched an international voucher transfer service in Guinea-Conakry.

MobiCash in Congo Brazza soft launched their service in December.

TTNet in Turkey has launched their service protecting access to hotspots with Near Sound Data Transfer.

New Technology Launched

During the past year, sound based transaction technologies have become accepted by the industry and recognized for their security, usability, and pertinent approach.

This fall, Tagattitude launched its newest sound-based technology, NFC2.0, which builds on Tagattitude's proven NSDT technology while harnessing the power of the smartphone to enable contactless transactions for any application.

A Growing Team

In addition to the new members of our project management and R&D teams, Siméon Montrose has recently joined Tagattitude as Director for West Africa.

Siméon holds a masters in economics from Ecole Polytechnique and a masters in management from ENA. He has carried out missions in finance and consulting for organizations including the BNP Paribas and Caritas association. Siméon served the French State Department working for the operational and strategic headquarters.

Siméon will be focused on developing Tagattitude's business interests throughout West Africa and supporting Tagattitude's partners in this region.
