Cashless Payments, Cashless Peace.
When he needed to transfer money to a friend in a faraway village for health treatment, John, a successful business man in Cameroon did not have to worry about long queues and paperwork. He just took his phone, opened his WaZaPAY e-wallet, punched in an amount and sent it to his relative. After few minutes, his friend thanked him for the kind gesture. The transfer actually took few minutes.
Mobile payments are the future as we move towards a cashless world. Talking on the advantages of cashless payments, Guillermo de la Dehesa, a Spanish economist wrote the following in an El Pais article titled “The Great Advantage of a Cashless World”: “Without cash, we would live in a much safer, less violent world with enhanced social cohesion, since the major incentive fuelling all illegal activity [i.e. cash]… would disappear.” In some markets especially in western societies, cash is already a thing of the past but many African nations are slower to make the mobile switch for a number of reasons. Could Cashless payments actually help Africans build a peaceful and secure environment? Only the future can tell but for that, Africans need to open their mind to the use of mobile payment gateways.
Insufficient financial inclusion, unbanked masses and financial illiteracy in Africa increasingly led to the need for a financial solution, a cashless payment solution. WaZaPAY took on the challenge in 2016. As you go through WaZaPAY services, you can clearly see that WaZaPAY has brought bank services closer to the population. From payment gateway to e-wallet with bulk payments, recurring payments, escrow transactions, invoices, utility bills payment, API integration, etc, WaZaPAY offers all (and even more) the services of a traditional bank all in a fast and secure manner. You can boldly make your financial transactions worldwide with WaZaPAY through your mobile phone.
