Ukash, an alternate e-commerce payment services provider, has launched payment services in Australia, through a recently signed deal with epay Australia, as part of its plan to enable cash consumers to shop online globally.
Reportedly, the deal with epay allows users to exchange their cash in store and receive Ukash vouchers – which are available in AUD in amounts of $10, $20, $50, $100, $200 and $500 – with a unique code for users to simply provide when paying. It has added that one of the major benefits of using Ukash is that customers do not have to have access to a bank account or credit card to shop online.
In addition, Ukash Online solution, allows consumers in Australia to purchase Ukash online directly from their bank account through banks – an online issuance function which provides authentication and verification technology to online consumers.
Mark Chirnside, CEO of Ukash, said: “By opening up internet shopping to the cash market Ukash allows those without bank accounts or credit cards, or those who have fears of online fraud, to shop securely online using cash.”
