And when do you think that I know you're still kind of evaluating partners do have a timeline for announcements about the digital wallet component.
Matthew Fraser
1:21:24
So we I have a timeline about some announcements, but not the digital wallet.
1:21:27
And I'd say as we get closer towards the end of the year, we are as we get close to the end of the year, and I'm gonna target the 1st week of December because you said mid December.
1:21:37
1st week of December, we're gonna have a tangible timeline where we can sit down with the tech council, and we can review that together.
Jennifer Gutiérrez
1:21:44
Okay.
1:21:45
Okay.
1:21:46
And then the last piece on a digital wallet, will the well, digital wallet in the MyCity portal mirror the prepaid debit program that was used for migrants
Matthew Fraser
1:21:56
Oh, water.
Jennifer Gutiérrez
1:21:57
Through Mokapaya or capability, capital finance?
Matthew Fraser
1:21:59
Yeah.
1:22:00
So I I think that you can use that experience as a lessons learned and you can see what works and what doesn't work.
1:22:06
I think the capability that was provided in that space is something that we're looking to provide.
1:22:11
The specific, this specific vendor that would be used and the way that we and that determination hasn't been made as yet.
1:22:19
So I can't tell you that it would be the same as what was done in the migrant space, but I think
Jennifer Gutiérrez
1:22:25
that Are they a partner at this point?
1:22:27
I know you haven't are they a partner is Mokify?
1:22:29
Because I know the city is still in contact with them.
1:22:31
Are they are they a partner for this particular piece?
Matthew Fraser
1:22:34
Not not at this moment.
