Re: [Mifos-users] Seeking Pilot Users to Test Out Mobile Money Integration with Hover Automation SDK for USSD

[Francis Guchie <fr...@gmail.com>]

Hi Ed,

Currently here in Sierra Leone, we are working closely with one of the
Mobile Network providers. Once we are set it would be nice to test it here
if possible. I can not say much for now nevertheless, i am deeply
interested in seeing this integration work

I am eager to be of help where i can.

My Kind Regards

Francis Guchie Kirago
