I am a student at Branson School of entrepreneurship,the private entrepreneurship institution that educates students who aspirates to commence their own businesses.So during my vigoreous research when I was still compiling a business plan I identified your company as one of our prospective suppliers which we believe can add a meaningful value in my Company and which can also provide extra advice on how to streamline our distribution channel so can I get the information regarding this so as to know what can I do to be the wizzit kid. Thank you in advance

Wizz Kids And Cellphone Banking

Story Link: http://allafrica.com/stories/200509190163.html

It would seem that MTN Banking was not the first to market with a pure cellphone banking product. Wizzit, a small company that has purposely stayed under the radar screen for fear of being trampled on by the bigger banks, launched a cellphone-banking product in November last year.

Without any above-the-line advertising, it has sent 740 previously unemployed "Wizz Kids" into the townships and rural communities to assist people in opening a Wizzit account on their cellphones -- and the number of Wizz Kids is growing.
