Ukash, the rapidly expanding online global cash payment
solution, has announced a deal with Wallet One [W1] to allow
hundreds of thousands of global customers to purchase Ukash
vouchers from their W1 online accounts and spend securely online
using the unique, patented Ukash PIN code.
A flexible and innovative payment system, W1 makes it easy for
customers to buy unique Ukash vouchers from a secure online wallet
to spend cash privately and conveniently online at any time and
from anywhere in the world.
Making online payments available to consumers without access to
cards, the deal with Ukash and W1 also offers the ability for
online merchants without a MasterCard or Visa function to appeal to
the cash customer and increase online sales.
W1 account holders can purchase a Ukash voucher online at
www.w1.ru at any time and from anywhere they can access their W1
account, either online or via mobile devices. To ensure privacy and
convenience, a 19-digit Ukash number will be issued immediately and
either sent as a text message (SMS) to the customer's mobile phone
or will be saved in a secure online account area.
The W1 payment system already has a large presence in Russia,
the Ukraine and CIS countries which significantly increases Ukash's
exposure in these emerging markets. Ukash vouchers will be
available in any denomination from 1 - 500 EUR, or for convenience
in fixed values of 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 100, 150, 150, 200 or 500
EUR.
Mark Chirnside, CEO of Ukash said: "We believe everyone in the
world should be able to make payments online, whether they have
access to a credit card, bank account, cash, or all three. Our
partnership with W1 reaches hundreds of thousands of consumers
worldwide, giving more people the opportunity to make payments
online safely and conveniently using cash, which is another step in
the global expansion of our alternative payment system."
Fast-growing alternative payment method Ukash, which aims to
make online shopping available to everybody, anywhere in the world,
is also available in the UK, mainland Europe, South Africa and
Australia and has an existing global network of 300,000 physical
points of purchase.
