Combined with our virtual channel technology which includes handset - SMS top-up, handset - IVR and the internet, Payzone guarantees a tailored channel solution which best serves the needs of our clients and the markets they operate in.

Payzone deliver mobile top up through a number of mechanisms depending on the operator and country of operation; the most popular methods of which include E-Voucher and E-Top-up.

E-Voucher is the simplest, most cost effective way for operators to convert to electronic top-up. The system is based on the delivery of an electronic PIN number which is used by the consumer to apply top up credit to their phone. The consumer follows the instructions on the e-voucher receipt and enters the pin number when prompted. The Payzone host manages the entire process from PIN request through to receipt printing.

E-Top Up is the electronic delivery of top up credit directly to the consumers' mobile phone. In the retail channel it is activated via a top up card that carries the subscriber number or it is enabled when the consumer inputs their mobile number, also referred to as number entry.
Regardless of the top-up solution chosen, Payzone provides our mobile network clients and their customers with the highest levels of service available which is the reason why Payzone has become synonymous with better, faster and simpler cellular solutions.
