Virtual Top Up (VTU) is a technology that powers markets across the globe. In 2004 our VTU system was awarded a Technology Top 100 award for innovation as this service introduced many of the operations and functionality we have become familiar with today in typical mobile money systems. When it was launched VTU changed the concept of financial transacting, and we have continued to evolve this service year on year, ensuring that it grows as markets, technology and demand evolves.
VTU 2.0 is the latest generation of our distribution platform, bringing additional functionality and features to the market.
