Ukash, the world's largest prepaid cash-issuing estate, and its
partner Telepay, have teamed up to launch an innovative new service
which allows consumers to access Ukash online anytime using the
Active online banking service from Caixa Galicia.
This new service is being launched in Spain as 80% of internet
users* there frequently use online banking and will provide
consumers with an easy and convenient way for them to access Ukash
24/7. It is expected that this will result in a rise in Ukash's
popularity with Spanish consumers as it means that they can now
make safe, anonymous online payments anytime of the day or
night.
There is a simple five step process for consumers to
follow:
1. Customers using the Caixa Galicia Activa internet banking
service login as normal
2. They then select the prepaid products (compra de cupones)
option on the main menu
3. From here they order a Ukash voucher in any value from
10.00€ - 700.00€
4. They confirm the payment using their security device
5. The Ukash PIN is shown on the screen instantly
Ukash, which has more than 420,000 points of purchase in 32
countries and six continents worldwide, has been working with
Telepay to provide a range of ways to get Ukash in Spain including
online, from ATMs, local shops and telephone kiosks.
