GTT now offering Mobile Money service to Digicel customers

Nov 01, 2015 News

More than two and half years after GTT launched its Mobile Money Guyana (MMG) service, the telephone company yesterday announced that Digicel customers can now join up.
The initiative was effective yesterday.
According to GTT, since the launch of Mobile Money in March 2013, the service was limited to its customers only.
“The demand for the service has influenced the offer to the other network. Now, everyone can register,” GTT said.
Registration for Mobile Money is free for customers of both networks.
All registered customers will be able to now make deposits into their phones; pay bills (buy prepaid GPL tokens); send money to anyone, anywhere in Guyana; cash-out funds from their phones and shop at approved merchants with just their phone, any time of day.
GTT said that customers from the other network (Digicel) can now use mobile money on Android or Blackberry Smartphones, via the Mobile Money App.
GTT said, however, that the purchase of Top Up credit by Digicel is still not available.
“All mobile customers have the option to sign up online or at any of our agents and offices.
GTT’s Mobile Money service has been making a big difference in the lives of thousands of Guyanese who prefer to make payments without joining long lines and wasting time. With the introduction to the other network users, the service will become even more popular and widespread throughout Guyana,” GTT said.
Director, Eshwar Thakurdin, boasted that “in 2015, we launched the App to simplify how payments are made. Only last month, we announced that all GTT bill payments are now updated instantly, and in a few days, Courts (Unicomer) Guyana will be joining the list of bills you can pay with Mobile Money.”
When it was launched in March 2013, GTT signaled intentions to target especially the hinterlands to make it easier for persons working there to send monies home.
GTT had managed to rope in the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) and the Institute of Private Enterprise and Development (IPED) as two of the places its customers can pay their bills to. Customers can also pay their GT&T bills, including DSL internet and landlines with charges ranging between $20 and $100 – less than a taxi fare for visiting a city bank or utility company.
GTT had argued that with credit cards fast overtaking cash, financial concepts are also changing rapidly.
