Mobile payments consulting and application development firm DonRiver has teamed up with airtime transfer provider TransferTo on the launch of an app that will enable the transfer of airtime across 70 countries.

Available on the iPhone, iPad and Android platforms, the TransferTo Mobile Airtime Application will be available within the Apple App Store and the Android Market this summer. The application will be developed by DonRiver and integrated into the international TransferTo airtime transfer network, consisting of over 185 mobile operators.

“In a growing airtime remittance market currently valued at US$20 billion, our partnership with DonRiver provides an additional convenient option for TransferTo users to transfer airtime internationally,” said Eric Barbier, TransferTo Founder and CEO. “These new iOS and Android applications will greatly benefit consumers that need to send low cost, high value gifts to their loved ones in other countries as a complement to their cash remittances.” 

“The Mobile Airtime Transfer application will serve a market that currently conducts over 50 billion top-ups per year,” added Brent Ho-Young, Managing Director of DonRiver’s Mobile Financial division. “The application will allow users to not only send airtime transfers, but also register various payment sources, view transfer transaction history, access airtime transfer discounts, and contact customer support.”
