Note that in January last year, MobME Wireless has postponed its IPO plans and raised $3 million in angel funding instead. Other players in the peer-to-peer money transfer space – ICICI Bank introduced a digital payments product for mobiles, which integrates a digital wallet, a physical prepaid card and a basic savings bank account called Pockets in February.
