Like we all know, there is now a Policy for a Cashless Society and it was implemented on Sunday January 01 2012 in Lagos State. It is meant to gradually move the nation away from a cash-based economy to electronic payment system in line with what obtains in developed economies of the world.

As Business owners or would-be Business owners we should try to get ourselves up to speed.

Here, we’ll try to explain what Mobile Money service is about and then we’ll guide you through the steps to activate the Mobile Money Service in this case eTranzact Pocket Moni.

The good thing about The Mobile Money Service is that it works across all GSM networks and this extends your phone into a highly interactive feature-rich payment device. It’s simply amazing. Imagine your Mobile Phone been able to perform Banking Functions with just a click.

You might be wondering why Spread Media chose eTranzact Pocket Moni as its Mobile Money Service provider this is due to the fact that since inception, eTranzact has been the forerunner of mobile transaction services and has partnered with commercial banks to ensure the smooth running of Mobile Money Operation.

eTranzact Pocket Moni has various options such as:

    Cash Withdrawal
    Cash Deposit
    Purchase Airtime Recharge Cards (Pin and Pinless)
