Ukash, the global e-commerce payment solution and Untitled London, a creative digital agency, have joined together to build a mobile site that allows consumers to access Ukash services from anywhere in the UK through mobile phones.
Reportedly, the mobile site also features a new mobile wallet to store, combine and split vouchers which can be used to shop, pay and play online using cash. Additionally a WAP version of the site to allow for emerging markets to utilise Ukash services via mobile devices. Both versions of the site will be rolled-out to other countries in the coming months.
According to Ukash, the Ukash mobile site provides consumers with an interface that shows how to get Ukash, where to spend it and provides access to the mobile wallet 24 hours a day. The platform will host exclusive mobile-specific products and services and will allow new mobile-specific merchants to tap into the Ukash proposition while providing current merchants with another channel to publicise their offering.
The company has said that for iPhone users, Untitled London has also created functionality that utilises ‘current location’ technology to identify the nearest physical locations for Ukash users to buy vouchers. The company plans to roll out this mobile feature to more countries across Europe in the next few months.
Mark Chirnside, CEO of Ukash, said: “As advances in technology continue to change and enhance the retail landscape it is important for companies to offer consumers and merchants new and more convenient ways to benefit from products and services. The new Ukash mobile site uses cutting-edge technology to ensure that our users can access our product in the most convenient way possible.”
