Effectively, Interswitch’s Verve
debit card opens its Pan-African payment network to over 31,000 members of the
Sacco, enabling them to transact from 185 countries across the world.
Interswitch Group Kenya Country
General Manager, Romana Rajput, said the payments firm is deepening relations
with a wide range of financial services providers to boost local, international,
and cross-border transactions over a secure platform.
“Our partnership with Gusii Mwalimu
Sacco will further help us to reach and empower more individuals and
communities in Africa. As we get more people on our platforms using our payment
solutions, we can understand their challenges better and create solutions that
are tailored for Africa,” she said
Gusii Mwalimu Sacco draws its
membership from the Teachers Service Commission, universities, National and
County governments as well as non-governmental organizations.
Verve is accepted on more than 2,000
ATMs and over 10,000 merchant POS stores countrywide, guaranteeing customers
more convenience of completing transactions anywhere, 24/7 affordably.
“This
new digital banking solution will meet the unique needs of our members while
still being consistent with international standards and outlook. It will
provide convenience and control beyond cash for the Sacco members,” said Gusii
Mwalimu Sacco Chairman, David Ogega.
The payment cards also give users the
ability to regulate and monitor their expenses while offering business owners
the opportunity to retain existing customers and attract new ones by offering a
more convenient way to pay.
“Verve is the rewarding way to pay
because it not only guarantees easy and convenient payments, but its users also
enjoy consistent rewarding offers like subscription and payment discounts from
their favourite vendors,” added Ms. Rajput.
Settlement and transaction tracking
is also easier with digital payments which in turn lead to optimized processes
and a more vibrant business.
“I am confident that with our track
record over the years, this partnership would equally be successful in
attracting a very good number of our members and more importantly improve our
quality of service leading to more confidence and growth of the Sacco,” the
Sacco chairman, Mr. Ogega added.
Interswitch said introduction of the
card with its dynamic features is affirmation of its consistent commitment to
making payments easy and convenient across Africa, and driving strategic
partnerships that will position the firm for greater impact on the continent.
“We will continue to design and
promote payment solutions that provide an enabling environment for businesses
and individuals to prosper across Africa,” she said.
