As part of our constant pursuit to enrich their experience, facilitate their use of the various services offered by the company and subscribing to additional services, along with the payment of service bills, we initiated a full revamp of the App to make it simple and user-friendly. This step was also coupled with several enhancements including “one-click for information and another click for purchase” besides introducing the innovative “one swipe for payment” feature which facilitates payment and transfer within one second and recharge via the Voucher Scan as well as credit/debit card scan. This is in addition to the option of retrieving the call log.”
