It leverages Comviva’s mobiquity Pay platform, enabling GETESA Money to offer a range of FinTech capabilities.
Customers can now get peer-to-peer transfers, bill payments, merchant payments, and more, facilitating a variety of daily transactions.
The platform is designed to support utility payments, grocery shopping, insurance premium settlements, satellite TV top-ups, and mobile airtime recharges, among other services.
In addition to facilitating digital transactions, mobiquity Pay will provide self-service options, backed by GETESA’s agent network. This will ensure accessibility for users throughout Equatorial Guinea.
