Ukash and Untitled London build platform for instant cash payments via mobile phone
[156139]
Ukash, the fast growing global e-commerce payment solution, and
leading creative digital agency Untitled London have joined forces
to build a mobile site that allows consumers to access Ukash
services from anywhere in the UK with the ease and simplicity of
their mobile phones. The mobile site also features a new mobile
wallet to store, combine and split vouchers which can be used to
shop, pay and play online using cash. Additionally there is also a
WAP version of the site to allow for emerging markets to utilise
Ukash services via mobile devices. Both versions of the site will
be rolled-out to other countries in the coming months.
For iPhone users, Untitled London has also created functionality
that utilises 'current location' technology to quickly and
conveniently identify the nearest physical locations for Ukash
users to buy vouchers. The company plans to roll out this
convenient mobile feature to more countries across Europe in the
next few months.
The Ukash mobile site can be accessed at www.ukash.com or
www.ukash.mobi and provides consumers with a user-friendly
interface that shows how to get Ukash, where to spend it and
provides access to the mobile wallet 24 hours a day. The platform
will host exclusive mobile-specific products and services and will
allow new mobile-specific merchants to tap into the Ukash
proposition while providing current merchants with another channel
to publicise their offering.
Mark Chirnside, chief executive officer, Ukash said: "As
advances in technology continue to change and enhance the retail
landscape it is important for companies to offer consumers and
merchants new and more convenient ways to benefit from products and
services. The new Ukash mobile site uses cutting-edge technology to
ensure that our users can access our product in the most convenient
way possible."
Ukash, which is continuing to expand its reach in its quest to
make online shopping available to everybody, anywhere in the world,
is available in the UK, mainland Europe, South Africa and Australia
and has an existing global network of 275,000.
