ETranzact, Nigeria’s multichannel payment solutions provider, has extended its services to other African countries. This follows its signing of agreements with utility services providers and other organisations in Ghana and Zimbabwe.
Some of the partners to the agreement, the firm said, include Ghana Telecom and Mutual Fund Administrators in Ghana. In Zimbabwe, the partners are Zimbabwe Electronic Supply Authority, TelOne, Telecel Zimbabwe, City of Harare, City of Bulawayo and City of Mutare. The services that are being facilitated by eTranzact cuts across finance, education, telecom, water and electricity bill payments.
eTranzact, according to details made available to our correspondent on Friday, said it had installed online fee payments system at both Zenith University College and Telecom University College, in addition to micro-finance payments for the Databank’s ePack and mFund, all in Ghana. Another service being facilitated by eTranzact is Ghana Telecom’s onetouch service, where it enables subscribers to do funds transfer, top up airtime of their phones and that of other subscribers, and pay for goods and services from the convenience of their mobile phones.
Commenting, Business Development Manager, Ghana Telecom, Mr. George Babafemi, said, "The solutions we have made available to our subscribers have enhanced the benefits they derive from using their mobile phones, enabling them to do a lot more than just call and send text messages."
In Zimbabwe, the firm said several government administrations have installed eTranzact solutions to facilitate the payment of water rates and other fees that they are authorised to collect. The City of Harare, City of Bulawayo and City of Mutare are the first to install this online payment system.
The same multichannel payment system had been installed by the Zimbabwe Electric Supply Authority, ZESA, for the payment of electricity bills. TelOne and Telecel, both telecom services providers, have availed their subscribers the possibilities of topping up the airtime of their phones remotely.
