Sorry, I guess my question wasn’t clear enough .. I was interested if an independent, cross-border mobile payment service would be possible in Asia as well. Does Crandy, like GCash, have retail outlets where the consumer can top up their accounts with cash, or is it a web-only service?

Hypertokyo – well, they’re both mobile payment systems and I’ve written about G Cash before. In this post I was writing about Crandy.

One’s an independent European service, the other an operator’s own payment system in Asia.
