UEPS permits the Company to facilitate biometrically secure, real time electronic transaction processing to unbanked and under-banked populations of developing economies around the world in an online or offline environment.

In addition to payments, UEPS can be used for banking, healthcare management, payroll, remittances, voting and identification.
