STAFF REPORT IBD: With the introduction of branchless banking, the transmission of money has become effortless and swift. ZONG realizes that with the growing usage of branchless banking, there is a dire need to fill the gap of knowledge for telecom journalists who desire a better and in-depth understanding of this technology.
