- Bankole orija

AFRICA’S leading financial technology company, Global Accelerex Ltd, has partnered with Moove, Uber’s preferred fleet partner in sub-Saharan Africa, to make payments seamless for riders across Africa.

To address the inconvenie­nce of cash payment on Uber rides and provide comfort to passengers who do not want to enter their card details online, Moove has integrated its payment platform to Global Accelerex’s N3 Android PoS device, an advancemen­t in e-payment technology. This will make it convenient for passengers to pay for their Uber rides via the PoS terminals deployed in all Moove cars.

The portable and stylish N3

PoS terminal outperform­s the competitio­n with unique features that make it the preferred choice for businesses that value efficient operations. It comes loaded with multiple payment options which enables bank card, mobile and QR payments; long-lasting battery, ideal for drivers on the go; exceptiona­l security that guarantees peace of mind; faster operating experience with android 5.X; and dual camera. It is also 4G, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth-enabled, making it the perfect payment device for the 21st century transporta­tion business.

Speaking about this strategic alliance, Mr. Kayode Ariyo, Executive Director, Business Developmen­t and Operations of Global Accelerex, stated that it is a union of two market leaders in the technology-driven business space constantly seeking to make life easier for consumers.

“We are thrilled to partner with Moove to offer the revolution­ary N3 device for deployment in their cars to make payment simple and safer for passengers. I am particular­ly glad about the fact that it reduces the restrictio­n on payment options as passengers can now pay with their cards while on the move, and not just at stationary locations.

This is an exciting developmen­t for our company because it underscore­s our commitment to promote a cashless system and aligns with our objective to make e-payment accessible to Nigerians,” Mr. Ariyo said.

According to him, Global Accelerex was the first to intro

duce the first single unit android point of sale terminal to be certified for payment acceptance in Nigeria – the N5. Moove is also the first company in Nigeria to provide fleet services for Uber transporta­tion. Its modern cars create a comfortabl­e riding experience for end users, giving them the best value for their money.

Mr. Ladi Delano, Managing Partner of Grace Lake Partners and Co-founder of Moove, said: “At Moove, our focus is democratiz­ing car ownership for drivers whilst providing the best option for riders to move from point A to point B.

“We utilize hardware and software to ensure security, safety, comfort and convenienc­e in every vehicle, and the PoS terminals provided by Global Accelerex are in line with this commitment by ensuring that payments are more secure, seamless and convenient than ever before”.

When asked about the company’s capacity to provide aftersales support to customers, Mr. Ariyo revealed that Global Accelerex’s Service Centre, a world-class facility that offers fast and effective support to customers, is equipped to deliver exceptiona­l service to end users.

“This is an intersecti­on of comfort and convenienc­e. As riders enjoy the comfort of Moove cars, they will also enjoy the convenienc­e and ease of payment that Global Accelerex PoS terminals provide. This initiative is part of our drive to digitize payment collection­s and create a sustainabl­e payment landscape,” Mr. Ariyo added.
