Univasa, a licensed mobility and connectivity solutions provider, has partnered with Kalabash54, the fintech arm of the Wakanow Group, to introduce a Travel Data eSIM product aimed at international travelers. The new service, now available on Wakanow.com, enables users to purchase and activate mobile data plans seamlessly during the flight booking process.
This innovation eliminates the need for travelers to swap physical SIM cards or deal with costly roaming charges abroad. According to Ben Adeniyi, CEO of Univasa, the partnership offers “high-quality, affordable Travel Data services in over 190 countries, all without swapping SIM cards. It’s seamless, secure, and exactly what modern travel requires.”
Kalabash54 CEO Ladi Ojuri emphasized the broader vision behind the initiative: “We’re building the future of travel services where payments, connectivity, and convenience all converge. This partnership solves a real problem many travelers face, staying connected easily once they arrive at their destination.”
The Travel Data eSIM is integrated directly into Wakanow’s booking flow, allowing customers to add mobile data plans alongside flight reservations. This approach removes the friction of sourcing local SIM cards and ensures reliable connectivity from the moment travelers land.
“This partnership combines the right technology and distribution synergy to scale this service while delivering on our promise of innovation and mobility,” Adeniyi added.
Backed by Univasa’s global infrastructure and real-time activation technology, the service promises consistent performance across supported destinations. The collaboration further strengthens Wakanow Group’s digital ecosystem, offering a one-stop platform for flights, accommodation, payments, and connectivity.
