Ukash, the world's fastest expanding prepaid-cash issuing
estate, has signed a deal with RouteTrader, to enable anybody with
cash to access one of the world's most successful voice trading
websites.
RouteTrader is an online community of voice operators that trade
voice minutes through a web-based portal. With similarities to the
stock exchange, call time is placed onto the 'trading floor' by
Tier 1&2 minute generators which can then be purchased by
customers in a secure and regulated manner. By engaging with Ukash,
RouteTrader has created an improved and efficient route to market
for all traders from all Tiers of the VoIP supply chain and users
will benefit from this increased choice in payment options.
Now that Ukash is live with RouteTrader, VoIP sites, call shops
and voice traders globally can buy call time immediately as Ukash
provides a guaranteed token of payment. As Ukash is a real-time,
secure funds payment mechanism, there is no waiting for funds to
clear before minutes can be purchased from RouteTrader, so telecoms
operators can use their call time immediately.
To use Ukash with RouteTrader, which is a members only trading
platform, consumers login to their RouteTrader account, select the
banking option and click the 'Ukash' button. By simply inputting
the unique 19-digit Ukash code along with the monetary value of the
voucher, call time can be obtained easily and quickly from
RouteTrader.
RouteTrader accepts vouchers in GBP, EUR or USD and its
partnership with Ukash means that customers can now buy their
minutes safely, securely and anonymously using cash, as well as
often benefiting from a lower transaction cost than that of many
other payment mechanisms when buying call minutes.
Ukash has significant experience in the global VoIP market and,
as well as working with big players within the telecoms industry,
benefits from an extensive network of resellers. This is another
growth market for the alternative payment provider, which is
dedicated to allowing anyone to shop, play or pay online using
cash, regardless of where they are in the world. Ukash vouchers can
be easily obtained from over 300,000 physical purchase points,
online through Ukash's secure website, or via its approved reseller
network - for which more information is available at www.Ukashbusiness.com/resellers.
Mark Chirnside, Chief Executive Officer, Ukash, said: "We are
pleased to have partnered with RouteTrader, which is an innovative,
forward-thinking company. VoIP is an exciting and dynamic market
and our technical systems allow partners to engage with a new range
of customers, as well as providing existing users with a safe and
secure payment option. As demand for purchasing call time via the
internet continues to grow, Ukash's offering is increasingly
relevant, and by allowing people to use cash to spend online we are
opening up the market to a far wider audience."
