Ukash, the world's fastest growing online-cash payments company,
continues its expansion in Latin America with the announcement that
it is now available in Mexico through deals with MIT and
Citadel.
Mexico is a thriving but cash-orientated economy, which means
that many consumers are unable to make transactions online. As of
today, consumers in Mexico will benefit from using Ukash vouchers
online in one of two ways. Through a partnership with MIT
(Mercadotecnia, Ideas y Tecnología) Ukash vouchers are
issued at point of sale from nearly 400 convenience stores that
provide mobile airtime and other payment services through the
popular Compra y Paga brand. Ukash vouchers are available in
denominations of 200 and 500 Mexican Peso, obtained by simply
exchanging cash for a voucher.
Ukash vouchers can also be obtained online through a deal with
Citadel, where consumers can visit the Citadel payment page and
select a voucher from around 150 to 1,500 Mexican Peso. Consumers
can use their internet banking service from the leading Mexican
banks and receive their voucher by email. The vouchers can then be
spent online wherever Ukash is accepted.
Commenting, Paul Coxhill, Marketing Director, Ukash said: "The
deals with MIT and Citadel mark Ukash's first presence in Mexico, a
country which we believe will see thousands of consumers benefit
from spending cash online. The addition of another country to our
network, Mexico being the 32nd, is a significant step for Ukash as
we continue to make every effort to allow anyone, anywhere in the
world to shop online."
Ukash vouchers, which can be used to pay, play and shop online
using cash, are a safe and easy alternative payment method to debit
and credit cards. Globally, Ukash is available at more than 420,000
physical issuing points and spans 32 countries and six
continents.
