    Job description

    The IPN Hub

    The Instant Payment Notification (IPN) Hub is a centralised gateway developed and owned by the GSMA to enable small pay-as-you-go (PAYG) utility service providers to integrate easily with mobile operators, and serve their customers more efficiently by receiving instant notifications of their payments made using mobile money. The hub has been piloted in Rwanda, and following its successful uptake there is being expanded to other markets where there is a demand for it.
