The Business Phone

The airtime equivalent of Martini – any carrier, any amount, anytime, anywhere – is now a reality in Kenya, as Paystream successfully launches its new market leading proposition to merchants.

This provides merchants with ultimate inventory management – they just order a monetary amount, and we manage their inventory for them to ensure any customer of theirs can buy the airtime they want, for the amount they need, from their preferred carrier, at point of sale.

Customers therefore enjoy greater security and convenience. No more tied agents – Paystream brings a solution which liberalises airtime sales, adds value to merchants, and contributes further to the yield we can earn from our terminals. Months of intensive effort to integrate and test with Safaricom, Zain, Orange and Yu, culminated recently in our first “live” transactions.

Customers can buy eVouchers or a Direct Top Up – scratch cards can now be thrown away and consigned to the obsolete pile.

Merchant feedback to date has been tremendous. This additional service, coupled with our card payment solution, already positions Paystream with a market leading proposition, as we prepare to roll-out even more value added services to merchants in the coming months.

Exciting times for Paystream in its mission to Change the Way Africa Pays!
