Airtel Mobile Commerce, also known
as Airtel Money, has joined forces with IZWE to offer customers in Zambia a
more convenient payment option. The IZWE Pay Point of Sale (PoS) Terminal
allows customers to pay for goods and services, which is confirmed by a cashier
initiating bill payment on the POS terminal. The customer then receives a
payment confirmation SMS after entering their pin, similar to how a bank card
works.
During a brief event, Airtel
Mobile Commerce Country Director, Andrew Chuma, expressed his excitement about
the agreement with IZWE. This partnership has a different dynamic, offering
customers the ability to pay for their various goods and services using the
IZWE point of sale.
Kulusu Chisola, IZWE Chief
Executive Officer, also acknowledged the partnership's significance, stating
that Airtel Money's reach and vast customer base will allow them to include
more individuals and businesses who use this channel daily to make and receive
payments.
Airtel Zambia believes that this
partnership is a testament to the growing mobile phone access across the
country.
