bullet Mobile Commerce gets Ready for the next big step in India
Mint, February 14, 2008-06-26

mChek India, meanwhile, is looking a broader reach for its offerings. It plans to launch payment solutions for common-day uses such as paying auto to taxi fares through mobile phones. The application can transfer small amounts from one bank to another via the mobile phone. "Auto and taxi drivers could never take electronic payment, so it will bring a complete breakthrough," says Sanjay Swamy, Chief Executive of mChek, which provides such facilities for retailers in Sri Lanka and has done trial runs for the service with taxi drivers in India. The service is expected to be launched later this year.
