Someone mentioned that earlier. Where is that info from? I am surprised that DTB hasn't taken that exposure as a NPL. Or do they recover the money/loan from money uploaded by customers onto the Nakumatt card?
DTB lends Nakumatt "working capital" or pays suppliers.
Customer loads money onto the Nakumatt card.
Customer uses the card to pay for purchases.
DTB recovers the "loan" from what Nakumatt receives as payment.
If the above is true then the risk is low UNLESS the sales/purchases using the Nakumatt card are lower than the working capital loan.
