Mavshack has during the first four months of 2016 focused its efforts in the United Arab Emirates, through cooperation with mobile operators Du and Etisalat, targeting the country's approximately 1 million Filipinos among which a mobile device is used as the primary method of payment. Subscribers in this region overwhelmingly purchase daily subscriptions. In April it was announced that Mavshack entered a strategic agreement with Intigral International FZ- LLC, a subsidiary of Saudi Telecom Company, and launched the same type mobile service and functionality in Bahrain and Kuwait as in the United Arab Emirates (please see press release from April 13, 2016 here). Integration testing with Viva Bahrain began during the last week of April.
"Considering that focus shifted in April from United Arab Emirates to Bahrain, which resulted in a lower increase in new subscribers, it is pleasing to see that the number of sold day passes exceeds the previous month", says CEO Mavshacks Rainier David.
