MAM Telecom provides real‑time float resupply, payment processing for merchants and institutions, an agent dashboard with analytics, and embedded KYC/AML compliance. Its commercial model includes onboarding fees, tiered monthly services, and a 1% daily commission on float issued, with planned float lending and Paybill APIs. The company is building integrated rails with MTN and Airtel and targets 1,000 agents and 200 merchants within two years. MAM’s founder, Milon A. Mutebile, brings regulatory and operations experience and has structured the platform to meet PSP/PSO licensing requirements and high uptime SLAs for rural deployment.
