yuMobile in Partnership with Elma Now Offers Utility Bill Payment Service

yu Kenya is really trying to show Kenyans that it is here to stay and not planning to exit the market like we showed. The company has now entered into a partnership deal with Faulu Kenya and Craft Silicon. The partnership will see yuMobile provide a mobile payment facility for its subscribers to settle their utility bills through its mobile money transfer service, yuCash.

The service which is available to yuCash subscribers will require that clients link their account to Elma – the mobile commerce platform from Craft Silicon. Subscribers will be required to download the Elma application by visiting www.elma.bz/elma through their mobile phones, upon which they get to follow simpler steps to access and use the service.  Subscribers would then be able to settle their water and electricity bills through their yuCash accounts.
