Chemical Sellers to use txtNPay system (4/05/09)

AFRIC Xpress, a Ghana incorporated electronic payment solution specialist and a pioneer in mobile phone-based payment solutions in Ghana, has signed a partnership agreement with the National Chemical Sellers Association to enable 10,000 members of the association nationwide to transact business with customers using the txtNpay mobile phone-based electronic payment system.
The contract will also enable customers to transfer money to relatives all over the country in about five minutes, withdraw money, purchase goods, top up mobile phone credit, pay bills and check account balance all with the use of a mobile phone.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, the Chief Executive Officer of GSMF International, Mr Alex Banful said money transfer over the years had become inconvenient in the country.
He said people no longer had to send money through people and drivers to relatives in the rural areas and noted that customers could now send money in the comfort of their homes to any part of the country with a text message.
The Finance and Administration Manager of Afric Xpress, Mr Michael Asiedu promised to offer quality services to customers.
He said users of all mobile phone networks in the country except Zain, could register and have access to the txtNpay system.
He said hundreds of MultiChoice subscribers had began experiencing the simplicity and convenience of the txtNpay service as they texted in to pay their bills without having to pay cash at any service counter.
He added that the barriers of distance, time and space had finally been eliminated from the routine transactions of settling bills for services bought.
The Customer Service Manager of Afric Xpress, Mrs Vida Assan, said all mobile phone users had to do was to register for a txtNpay electronic wallet.
She said the electronic wallet would enable them to have money on their mobile phones which they could use to top up credit, pay for goods and bills, check account balance, transfer money and withdraw money from any of their agents nationwide.
