Mobile Money is in high demand across Mifos users worldwide yet it still has not been as widely adopted by our customer base because of the need for access to Open APIs from the mobile money providers and hence our ability to integrate with their mobile money systems.
Integration from a technical standpoint once the API is made available from the mobile money provider isn't a large amount of work but getting the specific use cases and requirements needed for mobile money integration is critical and we can only move forward if users and partners in the community express the specific requirements they have. Musoni Services has integrated with various mobile money providers throughout Sub-Saharan Africa via Musoni System which is built on top of the Mifos X platform
The following provides good background on mobile money integration:
