BlackBerry announced on Monday that it plans to allow BBM Mobile payments to start in Nigeria (starting with Nigeria) to send money or airtime “as simply as they transfer photos or files.”
In Nigeria and South Africa, the company says it sees over half a million new users install BBM.
The company already offers mobile payments in Indonesia, for example, an emerging country of around 250 million in Southeast Asia that still has many loyal BlackBerry users.
BlackBerry first pushed into mobile payments in June last year when it signed a three-year deal with mobile payments firm.
BlackBerry is also seeing over 20 million views per month (views, not visits) on its BBM Shop in Africa, and says 60 million total stickers have been sent and received there.
