BACKGROUND
Incorporated by the Vodafone Group, one of the biggest international mobile communication companies of the world in terms of revenues, Vodafone Turkey is the second biggest mobile communication company in Turkey with 18.352 million users as of June 30, 2012, an increase of 105,000 customers from the fourth quarter of 2011.
OPPORTUNITY/CHALLENGE
We wanted to develop Vodafone’s first mobile wallet for the 27 countries where Vodafone operates. We trusted Tmob to develop the mobile apps. The mobile wallet app premiered in Turkey and the second version will be on the App Store and Google Play soon, enabling Turkish Vodafone clients to make money transactions using mobile phones.
Non-Vodafone clients are also able to receive payments made with the mobile wallet app by withdrawing money from any Turkish post office. The app is the result of collaboration between Vodafone, Visa, The Turkish post, ING Bank, and tmob.
SOLUTION
tmob developed iPhone and Android apps for Vodafone Mobile Wallet. The main functionalities include:
Money transfer: Send money to any GSM number and request money from any Vodafone subscriber
Money transfer by QR Code
Discover restaurants nearby, see related campaigns, and locate the restaurants on the map
With easy payment options, users can pay with a QR code in the contracted restaurants
Vodafone airtime packages can be purchased
There are Moneybox accounts for saving; When users shake the phone, the money in the moneybox can be sent to a specific person
NFC campaign task manager

Users can add bank cards, credit cards and CepNakit cards to the mobile wallet; users can also generate virtual cards and deposit money to virtual cards from any bank or credit card
The wallet also stores existing cards just by taking photos of the front and back What is different?
Users can pay with the Vodafone mobile wallet by scanning the QR code that restaurants use specifically for Vodafone Mobile Wallet
Users aren't required to go to Vodafone shops or PTT branches to use the application
It is easy to use, simple and fast
Data free usage: Users can use the app even without any remaining data
