Ukash, the world's fastest growing online cash-payments company,
follows its move into Latin America in 2009 with news of further
expansion into Bolivia, in partnership with Rocalix S.A.
After its dramatic global expansion in 2009, this partnership
with Rocalix S.A., marks the 30th country where Ukash is available.
Ukash plans to roll out its fast-growing alternative payment
solution to more countries across South America in 2010.
Consumers in Bolivia can now purchase vouchers in shops in major
cities such as La Paz, Sucre, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba from
Deligiro terminals. The shops provide services such as money
transfer and a courier service and Ukash vouchers will be available
in denominations of $20, $50 or $100 (USD).
With a unique 19-digit code from Ukash, the consumer will then
be able to shop, pay and play online safely and without fear of
credit card fraud.
Mark Chirnside, Chief Executive Officer, Ukash, said: "The
addition of Bolivia to our international network is a very
significant step for us, as South America is a market with huge
potential for Ukash and e-commerce in general. Having launched in
Uruguay last year, we know that our proposition is attractive to
Latin American consumers, and we are looking to expand our customer
offering further throughout the region."
Alvaro Nùnez, CEO of Rocalix S.A.: "Extending our
partnership with Ukash in Latin America means providing our
customers with better service and more convenience when shopping
online. We look forward to working with Ukash to develop this joint
venture further to eventually roll out the Ukash payment method
across South America."
With a presence in the UK, mainland Europe, South America, North
America, Australia, China and South Arica, consumers can get Ukash
through secure bank transfers and at more than 320,000 physical
issuing points around the world.
