mCash introduces Standing Orders from your mobile for the first time in Sri Lanka

National mobile service provider Mobitel’s mobile money platform mCash recently launched a facility providing customers with the ease of giving a standing order via mCash to schedule payments to other mCash users and pay key utilities and other bills. 

This hassle-free service will be another first from mCash, allowing mCash customers to schedule predefined payments at regular intervals using a mobile phone to other mCash users such as family and friends and also to over 40 key service providers including those offering insurance, electricity, water, telephone connections and leasing for the first time in Sri Lanka. 

Mobitel has always been at the forefront of ICT innovation and introducing this innovative service offering through mCash to further enhance the convenience of customers testifies to this. 

Taking the offering a step further, the service also sends out free SMS reminders before the due date to ensure the customer is always updated. In the event the payment is unsuccessful, it provides free follow-up reminders via SMS and also rechecks the possibility of making the payment, seven days continuously from the due date. 

This entire service offering is easy to schedule and provided to mCash customers at no extra cost. This service also enables mCash customers to not have to worry about missing important payments again as mCash will take care of settling the payments on the predefined date scheduled by the customer.  

To access mCash Standing Orders, customers are requested to dial #111# from any Mobitel or Etisalat connection, select Standing Orders from the provided menu and schedule payments accordingly.
