Blue Label has a direct link to the mobile network operators' integrated network platforms, giving us the ability to offer a fixed denomination or direct top-up solution to our partners. Direct top-up, or Pinless, provides the ability to reload airtime directly to a mobile subscriber's account and allows customers a broader choice in the value of airtime they purchase.

Benefits of our Prepaid Airtime solution:

• Offers incredible flexibility to our customers.
• Provides a single agreement allowing access to all network operators.
• Reduces stock-holding interest (compared to a batch stock/offline model), albeit we do offer this solution.
• Increases airtime sales & revenues.
• Allows a company to offer airtime rewards through its own channels as part of rewarding customers or staff loyalty to their own brand.

Blue Label Distribution provides the option of selling variable denomination airtime through POS terminals and integrations for Vodacom, MTN, Cell C and Telkom. This solution gives our merchants the ability to change the way they sell airtime, increase transactional volumes and offers flexibility on airtime denominations.

The size of the prepaid data market is estimated to be around the R1.45 billion per month of prepaid value top-ups and is projected to grow by an additional R47.7 million by the end of 2020. Consumer demand for data is rapidly increasing in the market as more and more South African consumers utilise online services. Whether the need is for small-screen data, connecting tablets and laptops, alternate devices or for broadband service in the home, Blue Label Distribution offers a wide range of data products from the major South African networks, Vodacom, MTN, Cell C and Telkom Mobile.

Prepaid electricity and water is the fastest growing electronic token category in South Africa. Since 2005 Blue Label has focused on the supply of these products through a single point of integration for channel partners for the distribution and supply of prepaid electricity services for both online and offline integrations.

As part of our value-added-services offering, Blue Label has provided consumer bill payment services introduced at retail point-of-service for 13 years. We have aggregator agreements with Pay@, SAPO and Syntell and process monthly bill payment transactions for approximately 275 different bill issuers including major local authorities, telecoms, utilities, medical services, traffic departments and mail order companies, to mention but a few. BLD currently processes 1 000 000 bill payment transactions per month. The offering includes the online and real-time validation of amounts to be paid and expiry dates of certain account types. We also provide our own BLU Bill Payments engine enabling us to accept bill payments from customers. We also enable cross border remittances for multiple money remitters, which forms part of the bill payments platform.

Today's challenge for wallet/store of value operators is – How do you get money (cash) into the system? With the launch of Blu Voucher, Blue Label effectively facilitates universal value distribution for external/3rd parties. This is key to meeting our objective of being payment agnostic, across any wallet or store of value, where the operator is looking for a mechanism to load value into their ecosystem, ultimately allowing any end consumer to purchase products and services.
