Telenor Group - A Trusted Brand within Mobile Financial Services

Telenor Group is one of the world's major mobile operators with more than 160 million mobile subscriptions and operations in more than 13 markets.

As an international provider of telecoms, data and communication services Telenor is in a strong position to bring mobile financial services to the unbanked. Telenor is a trusted and established brand within South East Asia, with a large and secure distribution network, all of which are key competences in mobile banking.

A 2011 study commissioned by the Telenor Group and carried out by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) estimated that mobile financial services may result in a 5 to 20% reduction of financial exclusion by 2020 and the power to increase gross domestic product (GDP) by up to 5% by 2020.

"While BCG's perspective on mobile financial services is promising, we must also be ready to face a few hurdles along our way to a financially inclusive 2020," said Jon Fredrik Baksaas, President and CEO of Telenor Group. "The consumers must be educated, a distribution network and business model must be in place and the approval of the regulators must be gained. These steps are vital for the successful spread of financial services and Telenor will continue to face these challenges and create more services that improve quality of life for our customers."

Telenor Myanmar is committed to mobile financial services to the people of Myanmar.
