FNB Cell Pay Point - FNB clients can pay you via cellphone on your website
We have partnered with FNB for their brand new product FNB Cell Pay Point whereby clients who have internet banking with FNB can pay you online on your website directly from any of their FNB bank accounts using their cellphone. We have integrated this product into the PayGate payment interface, so there is no work to be done by PayGate merchants - if you want it, we can just switch it on and it is automatically made available to all web customers as an option on their payment page. You don't have to have an FNB facility to benefit from this payment method - merchants can be banking with anyone. Reply to this email for more info on getting paid by FNB Cell PayPoint clients . . .
