Payments made simple with expressPay!

I have been working in the tech and digital ecosystem since 2008 in Ghana, thanks to the very first Barcamp in Ghana in December 2008. I yearned for fast, convenient payments in Ghana. I finally found it in 2015 through expressPay. Before this, many people in Ghana complained about Ghanaian built apps that did not work well and were buggy. expressPay came to put paid to that notion. It was not difficult to trust expressPay from day one. It was founded by some MIT Ghanaian buddies of mine including Curtis Vanderpuije, (Visa), Kodjo Hesse (Merrill Lynch) and William Tetteh. It has been awesome seeing its growth in Ghana.

I marveled at the simplicity of the service. Paying has and is still simple. With only a few taps on my phone, I select my VISA card (which is tokenized for security) and I am done paying. Best of all, the service is delivered in real time. There are hardly many avenues, trusted that is which also have volumes using these services, to buy and pay online. I have used expressPay to pay for my Vodafone Broadband, and I still amazed by how fast my internet started working. Queuing is a thing of the past.

I remember a time that my late mother came to visit me at home. She ran out of airtime in the middle of a call. I logged on to the expressPay Android app on phone and bought her credit. In under a minute, she had airtime to continue making calls. “Wow”, she said. No need to look for the small boy to go buy credit. After that experience, I just started sending her credit through the app. expressPay is a solid option for fast, convenient payments for purchases we do all the time. I’m getting used to making payments online, again.

GhanaThink has been using expressPay to take donations for National Volunteer Day, etc. A number of GhanaThink members like myself have been using this app for payments, for many years. It really is Payments Made Easy! Sending mobile money, buying credit, paying for internet, even making a bank deposit, so easy! The future is here. Download expressPay and enjoy the experience!  Once you create an account, use bctdi, bcho, bcksi or bcaccra as your referral code. And then thank me later.

A couple of years ago, I was honoured to be a featured in a video talking about my expressPay experiences. Watch it here 

expressPay has grown its business to have POS as well. I am always excited when I am buying fuel at a GOIL service station to that has an expressPay POS. They have also launched a USSD option.
