Kenyan mobile phone users continue to pay higher call charges than necessary because regulators have delayed implementing long-awaited reforms meant to lower interconnection fees, the World Bank has cautioned in a new report.

Most Australian punters recognise PayID as the simplest way to move money between banks. What many don’t see is that platforms using PayID pokies rely on a far more complex set of fintech standards sitting underneath the surface. PayID is built on the New Payments Platform (NPP), and this system delivers the real-time messaging, verification flows and security layers that gaming operators now use as the backbone of their payment infrastructure. Why PayID Integrated Into Casinos Faster Than Cards PayID entered the gambling space quickly because it works on real-time rails rather than the slow clearing processes tied to cards.
