Mobile money has emerged as a critical service, connecting millions to the digital economy. For telecom regulators and financial authorities, effective oversight of these services is vital for consumer protection, financial inclusion, systemic risk mitigation, and revenue assurance.

What Is RX-MFS and How Can It Help Regulators Monitor Mobile Money Transactions?

RX-MFS is the Mobile Money monitoring platform developed by RegulX to support telecom and financial regulators in monitoring mobile financial services in real-time.

Whether you aim to detect suspicious activity, verify operator-reported data, or assess service quality, RX-MFS provides a central interface with dashboards and KPIs that offer real-time insights and historical performance tracking.
