Loading a wallet
Customers can load their TagPay wallet by depositing cash with an agent or retailer or with a payment card through the TagPay website. Funds transferred from another TagPay wallet as well as salaries, loans, and pensions received are instantly loaded onto a TagPay wallet associated to the beneficiary’s mobile phone number. If the phone number is not yet associated to a TagPay wallet, a wallet is automatically created when funds are received.
Paying with a wallet
Customers can use their TagPay wallet for a range of payments including:
- Person-to-person payments and money transfers via the TagPay website or by calling an Interactive Voice Response service and following verbal instructions.
- Proximity purchases at various merchant acceptance points: the customer’s cell phone must be physically present to sign the transaction using NSDT™.
- Internet purchases on various e-commerce websites: NSDT™ is used to verify that the customer’s cell phone is present during the online payment.
- Bill payments and airtime top-up done through an IVR, a designated retail location, or on the web.
When using TagPay to pay on a website or in a store, the customer is invited to enter his mobile phone number and pass code. TagPay instantly calls the customer’s mobile phone sends an NSDT™ chirp through the webpage or merchant’s POS*. When the chirp is heard by the customer’s phone the transaction is completed.
*The merchant’s POS can be an online computer, dedicated TagPay mobile payment terminal, or the merchant’s cell phone.
