ZAIN and Multichoice Kenya have entered into a partnership that will enable DSTV customers pay their subscription fees through Zain Zap.
Speaking during the launch, Zain Kenya Managing Director Rene Meza said DStv customers would not be charged for paying through Zap.
He also pointed out that the transaction would be reflected on the DSTV subscriber’s account immediately the payment is made.
“This partnership marks yet another milestone in the fast evolving world of mobile commerce. We are constantly upgrading the features on Zap to ensure that our customers experience the real benefits of the technological revolution,” said Meza.
Since it was launched three months ago, Zap has registered more than 300 000 customers and has 3000 dealers countrywide. Currently customers can pay electricity bills and perform a host of commercial transactions using Zap. He disclosed that Zain Kenya was in talks with other financial
institutions to increase the penetration of the service especially in rural areas.
DStv subscribers in Kenya can expect to get reconnected within an hour of paying via Zap.
