I dismissed this company as froth when I first looked at it. Since then the sp has doubled and continues to steadily rise. I looked again and when I saw the countries and contracts this firm is in---I was impressed and bought some to tuck away. anyone else bought in or interested?

Monitise takes full ownership of Asia Pacific JV

LONDON - Monitise plc (LSE: MONI) ("Monitise", the "Company" or the "Group") announces today that it has agreed to acquire full ownership of Monitise Asia Pacific Limited ("Monitise Asia Pacific"), its 50:50 joint venture with First Eastern Mobile Investments Limited ("First Eastern"), a leading Hong Kong-based investment group controlled by Victor Chu.

Under the deal, Monitise has paid a total consideration of 20m ordinary shares of 1p each in Monitise plc ("Ordinary Shares") to First Eastern for the remaining 50% stake in Monitise Asia Pacific, valuing First Eastern's stake in the joint venture at £11.25m, based on Monitise's closing share price on Wednesday 16 October 2013 of 56.25p.

Application has been made for 20,000,000 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission of the Ordinary Shares will take place at 8.00 a.m. on 21 October 2013. Completion of the acquisition is conditional only upon admission taking place. Following admission, Monitise will have 1,640,029,298 Ordinary Shares in issue. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Following the transaction, Monitise will take full control of Monitise Asia Pacific's 49% stake in its Indonesian joint venture with PT Astra Graphia Information Technology. That partnership, which was entered into in 2011, was created to develop new mobile services for financial institutions targeted at both banked and unbanked consumers in Indonesia.

Another good day for MONI.
Got back in last week on a pull back at 55 and pleased with the finish today at 59.25.
I think tomorrow it will either pull back to 57 or push on up and break through 63 which is then blue sky territory.

Sub 50p I think I might be tempted again.

market cap £855m, loss making, keep the faith!!

Back on the up.

Monitise has deployed and launched its Mobile Money platform with full access for Chinese speakers. The initial launch in Hong Kong is a key pillar of Monitise's plans to extend its services into mainland China. 'Easy TopUp' offers a simple, secure and convenient real-time mobile service to top up PCCW-HKT pre-paid SIM cards with payment taken direct from their bank account, as opposed to purchasing vouchers from convenience stores.

The green light to launch the service follows the granting of regulatory approval by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and comes as Monitise joined more than 100 British companies accompanying Prime Minister David Cameron in China on a trade mission to secure new business opportunities.

Monitise drives mobile app adoption at Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank
Monitise plc (LSE: MONI.L) today announced that the mobile services it has developed and deployed for Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank have experienced significant and rapid user adoption since their launch in August. The capabilities were built as part of a three-year partnership between Monitise and the banking group.

Since launching mobile banking services four months ago, Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank are already seeing customers interact with their app two or more times a day. The banks have taken the innovative approach of enabling any customer with a current account to be able to register, they do not necessarily need to be registered for internet banking, so the banks are seeing quick take up across all sectors of their customer base.

Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank launched their mobile services with Monitise to enable their customers to manage their money when and where it suits them. They were developed with a specific focus on building an intuitive user experience for consumers. The apps are available across iPhone, Android and BlackBerry handsets and, for customers without smartphones, a series of text-based offerings including scheduled and on-demand balance alerts and mini statements are available.

Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank's Operations & IT Director, Debbie Crosbie, said: "The adoption levels of our mobile capabilities show that they are already providing an invaluable service for our customers, enabling them to manage their finances more easily at a time and place that suits them. We're delighted with the results we are seeing after just three months. Over the next year, we are looking to build on this success by making mobile a central part of our customer service strategy across the UK to give consumers more ways to manage their money around the clock."

Nearly back to the all time high. Missed the recent bounce. :o(

Looking to try 62p again.

Are you holding these skinny? I'm not at present, but would be very tempted to sell at this level and wait for the next wave from 10p lower.

I've got some from 48p and some from 58.9p - not a larger holding atm though.

I found it quite a frustrating investment until I started to actively trade it. So far it has been quite easy to spot the peaks and troughs. That's probably jinxed it now though!

Done the same HARRY ,got out after holding for ever! with tiny profit but have been in a couple of times since. They went up just after i sold my long hold...

:-)

Yum Yum!

Sold half @72.50p
