These include over 300 million high-volume, customer-to-merchant transactions powered through a stable integration with Amdocs DFS. The company also launched a secure, branded developer portal using WSO2, enabling external partners to easily integrate MVola's payment services into their own apps and websites. 'WSO2 helped us expand beyond internal capabilities and open our ecosystem to trusted third parties—critical to our mission of driving digital inclusion,' Senevirathne added. Beyond performance and scalability, WSO2's platform ensures consistent service delivery across channels, from the USSD interface to the Super App, allowing MVola to meet customers where they are—regardless of device or connectivity. Real-time analytics and seamless monitoring have further enhanced MVola's ability to proactively optimize services and ensure continuous improvement.
