Easypaisa today announced that it has become first Pakistani operator to offer Mobile Financial Accounts to customers of any mobile phone company.
Telenor, in a press statement, said that it enabled ‘Other Mobile Operator’ interoperability through SMS based transactions for feature phone users and a smartphone app for smartphone users.
Together the two features mean that everyone in Pakistan — regardless of their Operator’s SIM — can now open the Easypaisa Mobile Account and operate it via any of the available channels of their choice including App, SMS, USSD or phone banking.
The Easypaisa app enhances the experience of using Branchless Banking services by folds. It enables users to send money to any CNIC in Pakistan or into any account, be it branchless or traditional banking account,with extreme ease.
Similarly paying utility bills of any utility company in Pakistan or buying any operator’s airtime is now a much more user-friendly and faster experience.
For non-smartphone users, the SMS based transaction experience is as fast, slick and user-friendly as the previously used USSD experience was – this completes the full range.
Expressing his views, Ali Riaz Chaudhry, President and CEO of Tameer Bank, said,
“We are extremely pleased at this ground breaking achievement, a testament that Easypaisa remains at the forefront of empowering people through innovative, technologically driven, and low cost financial services.”
