New: Interswitch, BlackBerry partner on money transfer, airtime

I call this money made easy. African digital payment provider Interswitch has launched an integration of its Quickteller services with BlackBerry's BBM via a new app called Quickteller Mini, available for smartphones running Android, BlackBerry and iOS. With this partnership, BBM users with a Nigerian bank account can make a request for money, airtime and payment for services from one of their BBM contacts. The Quickteller Mini App enables this in a secure and user-friendly way. This service is as easy as sharing a photo or file while chatting with a contact on BBM. Users select the attachment option, choose Quickteller, enter the amount and make a request. The recipient of the message simply taps it and enters their account details. The money is credited to the recipient's bank account instantly. The Quickteller Mini App is now available via free download from BlackBerry World, Google Play Store and Apple's App Store.
