ChatPay targets 100 billion social media users

Experts have said that the over 100 billion
active users on Facebook, Twitter, WeChat,
Skype and Telegram can now carry out
financial transactions directly from these
platforms with the aid of ChatPay.
According to them, ChatPay allows everyone
with a social media account to conduct
transactions from the home without visiting
a bank.
They said that with ChatPay, Nigerians had
the opportunity to perform various
transactions ranging from funds transfer,
airtime purchase, bill payment, location of
Automated Teller Machine nearby, purchase
of cinema tickets as well as viewing movie

The Chief Evangelist of ChatPay, Mr. Gbenga
Adams, said the platform was a fusion of the
advancement in robotics and artificial
intelligence to create a unique and very
personal experience in managing finances.
“Think of ChatPay as your personal financial
assistant and this is why we have named
her ‘Kiki’. She will help you run all your
financial errands, which include transfer of
funds to any bank in Nigeria, purchase of
airtime, payment of your utility bills, hotel,
flight tickets and much more. Kiki will help
you find the closest ATM should you need
direction with voice navigation,” he said.
The beauty of ChatPay, according to him, is
that it is open to everyone irrespective of
the bank where his or her account is
domiciled.
Adams said, “As long as you have a Verve,
Visa or MasterCard, all you need to do is
download ChatPay from the Play Store or
iTunes app store and connect with any of
the social media platforms presently
available – WeChat, Facebook messenger,
Telegram, Skype, or Twitter. More will be
added as we go on.”
With a mission to ease financial transaction
and further create an avenue for young
people, who would ordinarily transact in
cash to be ingrained in the formal financial
system through transacting electronically,
Adams said the team at ChatPay believed
that Nigeria was in for an experience they
could only have imagined.
