Ukash, an alternative online payment provider, has signed a global deal with epay, a division of Euronet Worldwide and a provider of payment services and technology, to extend the availability of its e-cash vouchers to epay retailers across Poland.
The Ukash vouchers will be available in PLN 20, 25, 100, 200, 500, 750 and can be combined, split and/or converted. Reportedly, the partnership with epay enables Ukash to expand into 6,000 epay locations across Poland, and the deal offers all internet users the opportunity to pay, play and shop online using cash without having to pay for a prepaid card.
The company has claimed that Ukash vouchers do not attract a service or convenience fee. It said that the consumers can exchange their cash for a unique 19-digit code to use online. This is expected to provide them with a secure payment system where they don’t need to reveal any financial information, enabling those without access to credit or debit cards that can be used online or those with fears of online fraud.
