 <title>Wizzit Model in W. Africa</title>
 <link>http://www.nextbillion.net/archive/activitycapsule/wizzit#comment-20988</link>
 <description>Kiki,

Hi. I read your post after reading about Wizzit technology. I am excited that you want to bring this model to West Africa becuase I truly believe this is the future of banking for the &quot;unbanked&quot;. Currently, I am a graduating senior studying finance at Loyola University in New Olreans. I worked for over 4 months in Ghana where I was exposed to the microfinance industry. I plan to make a career within microfinance, however there are extremely limited opportunities in the United States. I would like to be a part of creating a Wizzit type model in West Africa. E mail me if you are interested. &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:Exportafrica@gmail.com&quot;&gt;Exportafrica@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;. I will be looking forward to hearing from you&lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;</description>

 <title>Samsung i600</title>
 <link>http://www.nextbillion.net/archive/activitycapsule/wizzit#comment-19008</link>
 <description>I cannot get this USSD service to work on this phone..
It opens the first two menu&#039;s up succesfully,but thereafter it wont go any further and responds &#039;failed&#039;
Please,any help in this regard would be great, because I have to use this card like any other card...no mobile banking for me.
Its a new phone the Samsung i600, so I cant understand why it will not work..because even very old phones can do this&gt;
Best wished 
Kevin

ps
Your service is gr8!&lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;</description>

 <description>Good Morning, I saw the program on tv 2 with Oudi AFrican views
it was so interesting, am a retired white lady. I need to save as much as I can for retirement, how do I apply and what benefits are there, as I do have an existing bank for 15 years and am very disappointed that the charges are still that high, and feel I dont get any prefer treatment for all those years of supporting this bank

WIZZIT is a cellphone-based banking facility whose target market is the estimated 16 million unbanked or underbanked South Africans - about 60 percent of the country&amp;#39;s population.  Unlike its competitors (FNB and MTN), WIZZIT does not require users to have a bank account and is compatible with early generation cell phones popular in low-income communities.  The facility even works with customers who use pay-as-you-go cellphones - another distinction.&lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
