Jan 04, 2013 News

Scotiabank has added another range of services to its wide array, making Guyana more current with trends worldwide. The financial institution yesterday disclosed that it has introduced Scotia Online, Scotia Mobile and Telescotia.
The new features will allow customers at home and abroad to pay their phone, light, water, internet, cable and insurance bills at any time, from anywhere.

Scotiabank has launched a number of features to allow online and telephone bill payments.

According to Scotiabank, it was able to establish linkages with the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL), Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T), Digicel, Guyana Net, Guyana and Trinidad Mutual Insurance Company (GTM), Movie Star and Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI). GT&T customers can also pay their DSL bills with the facility.
“While the service was launched several months ago, we wanted to ensure that the process was seamless before we promoted it publicly. We are confident that consumers will find our bill payment service hassle-free and secure,” said Amanda St. Aubyn, Country Manager.
Customers must first sign up for Scotia Online by visiting www.guyana.scotiabank.com. Once the sign up is completed, customers can click on the Bill Payment and Manage Payees tabs to set up their bill payment accounts. Once the set up is completed, a bill payment can be completed within a few minutes. Customers can then sign up for Scotia Mobile with their internet-enabled handset to be able to pay bills via their mobile phones.
According to the bank, for those customers who do not have internet access via a computer or mobile phone, Telescotia is the perfect solution. All one has to do is sign up for Telescotia and follow the prompts to set up bill payment.
“Customers must have their Scotiacard ready when signing up for Scotia Online and Telescotia.
This service is perfect for persons who live overseas or those who do not have the time to wait in line to pay their bills. Payments made before 17:00 hrs are sent to the companies the next business day.”
Customers get a confirmation number for each bill payment which can be printed and kept as proof of payment.
