GIG Mobility (GIGM), a Nigerian tech-driven mobility firm, has announced the addition of ‘bill payment and e-wallet’ features to its GIGM app. This is in line with the company’s commitment to digital innovation and technological expansion beyond road mobility.
The new features allow users to fund their e-wallet and pay their bills in seconds. This eliminates the need to use multiple applications to perform daily tasks ”.
“We will continue to pioneer modern transportation and change the way people travel and live across Africa, one country at a time, guided by our principles of service, safety and comfort.
“Following Marshall’s hierarchy of human needs, convenience and comfort remain top priorities for individuals, and we have positioned ourselves to meet those needs by expanding the functionality and functionality of our app to improve everyday life. We want to give people the opportunity to ‘move’ and ‘do freely’, ”said Enahoro Okhae, the new CEO of GIGM.
In an era when bank cards and physical tokens for wire transfers are becoming obsolete, the e-wallet feature would allow users of the app to pay transactions seamlessly and on the go to book trips, while the function of paying bills would provide an easy way for users to top up airtime, pay utility bills, renew cable TV subscriptions and more.
According to Kenneth Nwanganga, Chief Technology Officer of GIGM, “The Covid-19 pandemic has provided insight into the unimaginable capabilities of the technology and its applications. The popularity of artificial intelligence, robotics and the massive adoption of cryptocurrencies are all indications of what the future holds.
“We are determined to remain one of the dominant players in the use of technology as all aspects of life are digitized. Nigerians now have more reasons and opportunities to connect with the GIGM brand, beyond transportation. “
GIGM began its transition to a technology-driven business model a few years ago, and features like this validate the company’s commitment to making travel and transactions easier.
“We put the power of technology in the hands of the people. These premier features are helping to accelerate the direction of GIGM – transforming the way customers perceive and interact with the transport and mobility industry in Nigeria and across Africa. This will be one of the many non-essential mobility features that will be rolled out in the near future, ”Okhae added.
“Now you can perform multiple transactions with one click, wherever and whenever you want, without having to switch between apps or remember multiple passwords,” Nwanganga concluded.
