BERLIN (Reuters) – Wirecard has signed a memorandum of understanding with Brightstar and plans a "significant transaction volume," the German fintech said on Monday.

Under the agreement, digital financial services via a Brightstar platform should be managed by Wirecard as a preferred payment service provider, said Wirecard.

Both companies are proactively exploring opportunities for cooperation, he said.

The company said its strategic partner, SoftBank, had introduced it to its Brightstar US unit, which provides wireless telecommunications solutions for logistics and supply chain management.

"Together, we plan to bring a variety of new solutions to the global mobile market and expect significant transaction volume from this deal," Wirecard said in a statement.
