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.
