Through this service, Umniah will allow its subscribers to use their mobile handsets as portable wallet accounts to transfer money to local and international destinations; mobile and internet subscribers to pay their monthly subscription fees; and prepaid subscribers to recharge their lines.
Umniah will also present its subscribers at a later stage with the option of paying their utility bills by directly making payments via their mobile handsets while shopping.
Ihab Hinnawi, CEO of Umniah, said: “We are confident that the mobile money transfer service will meet great success in light of the added value it offers to our subscribers through our partnership with Eskadenia Software.
“The combined capabilities and expertise of both Umniah and Eskadenia Software will enable us to provide this service in accordance with the highest quality standards. We understand the importance of cooperation between the banking, telecom and IT sectors to make this kind of service a success in Jordan.”

We are confident that this service will yield tangible benefits to both sectors and individuals, particularly Umniah’s subscribers, once they begin to utilize it to complete many of their financial transactions with ease and in a timely manner.”
