e- Tranzact Supports PHCN Utility Card

The partnership between e- Tranzact International PIc and the Eko Electricity Distribution Company, EKEDC, has produced the Power Holding Company of Nigeria’s utility card.

The card, according to a statement on Monday, is designed to offer seamless e-Payment services for customers to pay their electricity bills from the comfort of their homes and offices, without going to the bank or any PHCN office.

Commenting on the benefit of the card, the Managing Director, e-Tranzact, Mr. Valentine Obi, said, “The PHCN utility prepaid card is multi-purpose and multi-dimensional. Customers can now pay their electricity bills seamlessly with or without a bank account, on the web, Automated Teller Machine, Point of Sale terminals and on their mobile phones through PocketMoni and mobile banking services.”

Obi said customers could get further benefits using their prepaid cards to perform other transactions such as airtime purchase, funds transfer to any bank account, purchase airline tickets, pay other utility bills and receive discount benefits from partner merchants.

Speaking in the same vein, the Chief Executive Officer, EKEDC, Mr. Oladele Amoda, said,  “Since the cash-less policy was introduced, we have been developing better ways to ensure smooth payment and cost-effective means of paying electricity bills, and as such, launched the PHCN utility prepaid card powered by e- Tranzact.”

He stressed that the aim of the card was to make life much easier for EKEDC customers; adding that the card was available at all PHCN offices and partner banks.

EKEDC is one of the successor companies that emerged as a result of unbundling of the Power  Holding Company of Nigeria PIc.
