Umniah prepares to launch its new mobile money transfer service
Through this pioneering and innovative service, Umniah will utilize
cutting edge technology to allow all Umniah subscribers to use their
mobile handsets as portable wallet accounts to transfer money to local
and international destinations; mobile and Internet subscribers to pay
their monthly subscription fees; and prepaid subscribers to recharge
their lines.
Through this unique service, Umniah will also
present its subscribers at a later stage with the option of paying
their utility bills, such as their water and electricity bills, as well
as pay their shopping expenditures by directly making payments via
their mobile handsets while shopping.
Commenting on this new and pioneering service in the local telecom market, Mr. Ihab Hinnawi, Umniah's CEO, said:
"We
are very pleased with this step, which reflects our interest in
continuously developing our range of services and our dedication to
ensuring that our services help make life easier for Jordan's citizens.
This technological advancement reflects the developments taking place
within the Jordanian economy at various levels, as we have been
witnessing the introduction of modern services and facilities within
the Kingdom that are designed to encourage productivity and
competitiveness and support the efforts being exerted towards following
the latest global market developments."
He added:
"We are confident that the Mobile Money Transfer Service will meet
great success in light of the added value it offers to our subscribers
through our partnership with Eskadenia Software. The combined
capabilities and expertise of both Umniah and Eskadenia Software will
enable us to provide this service in accordance with the highest
quality standards."
