Financial services

In support of financial inclusion of

unbanked and underbanked

communities, Blue Label offers a

compr hensive suite of financial

services products, including bill

payments, merchant acquiring and

money transfers.

This year, revenue from bill payments

increased, due to an incline in

transaction volumes and the

expansion of the bill paym nts’

footprint.

Currently there are in excess of

250 bill issuers on the bill payment

platform, covering products and

services such as TV licences, satellite

TV subscriptions, telephone landlines,

traffic fines, municipal rates and taxes,

electricity accounts, funeral policies,

school fees and furniture accounts.

Current growth is expected to

perpetuate as the bill payments

solution is rolled out into additional

independent and retail channels.

Blue Label, in partnership with Edcon,

recently launched Moova Money, a

mobile money transfer solution. This

enables consumers to transfer money

and cash out from Edcon outlets or

transfer money to the Moova Money

mobile wallet, thereby facilitating the

purchase of products and services via

the Edcon USSD application.

Technology

The South African

Distribution segment houses Blue

Label’s Technology division. The

segment’s dependency on back-end

system management, up-time and

product and service delivery is crucial

to ensuring the continual expansion

of the distribution footprint and

products and services offered.

The proprietary AEON and AMS

systems, as well as Transaction

Junction’s Postilion switch, entrenches

the Group’s capability as a neutral

aggregator in connecting to multiple

service and product providers and

distribution channels, regardless of

the channel’s technology

requirements.

Transaction Junction (TJ) is the

foremost bank independent payment

services provider in southern Africa.

South African distribution

continued

It processes volumes in excess of

1.2 billion transactions per annum.

TJ plays a vital role in the payment

ecosystem, as it consistently delivers

quality solutions to customers.

It serves multiple industries, including

major retailers, financial institutions,

petroleum companies and companies

seeking to extend their payment

services requirements securely and on

time.

The South African Distribution

segment’s contribution to core net

profit equated to R751 million (2015:

R685 million).

brand that is displayed at its
