Data Roaming Without Worries, Now in Every App: eSIM Innovator 1GLOBAL gives FinTech its Own Roaming Service. (Graphic: Business Wire)
By fully integrating the 1GLOBAL API, international fintech Revolut now offers its customers simple and fast access to 1GLOBAL’s low-cost worldwide mobile network. Once activated by the user, an embedded SIM (eSIM) is generated for the mobile device.
“Without having to leave the Revolut app, users can install an eSIM in a minute,” he said Hakan Koç, Founder and Executive Director of 1GLOBAL. “This is why players from a wide range of sectors, such as travel, insurance, fintech, airlines, VIP logistics and more, are coming to us to increase the range of services they offer by integrating our connectivity.”
Instead of having to obtain a physical SIM to access the local network upon arrival, customers using apps that integrate 1GLOBAL’s technology will simply set up an eSIM on their device. This gives them full control of their connection, including a view of data consumption. They can also use the app to purchase a data plan, even when they have already exhausted their limit.
“At Revolut, we know how important it is for our customers to stay connected to Revolut services, wherever they are, without worrying regarding their data cap. Revolut eSIMs, developed in partnership with 1Global, are a convenient and value-adding technology tailored to our global audience,” commented David Tirado, Vice President of Global Business at Revolut.
Any company can integrate 1GLOBAL technology into its customer offering through a set of APIs. As a result, customers remain on this application for longer, creating a new revenue channel and adding value to customers with increased brand loyalty.
In the case of Revolut, the full integration of 1GLOBAL technology was carried out in its own application and under its own brand. Alternatively, companies can offer 1GLOBAL connectivity simply as a third partyor affiliates through references (such as QR code), which guides the user to download their eSIM and 1GLOBAL software.
“As innovators in telecommunications technology, we have created our own global telecommunications network and can issue eSIMs and an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)“, explained Koç. “This differentiates us from providers who do not have their own network infrastructure and simply resell data packages.”
The 1GLOBAL platform gives application operators the ability to offer users international connectivity with the support of nine mobile virtual network operators (MVNO), five international sponsored roaming partners and more than 150 interconnections. This type of “hyperscale” connectivity, with 2,000 routes for 350 mobile operators, spanning 2G to 5G and LPWAN, would be impossible without leveraging 1GLOBAL’s innovative technology.
