There is now a new internet payment platform developed by Kina Bank to make payment of bills, mobile phone credit top- ups and electricity credit recharges easier for the people. The ecommerce payment platform called “Pei Beta” is a product of the Kina Bank and is now available on the internet for people to register and enjoy the services that it offers. Speaking at the launching of the Pei Beta payment platform this morning in Port Moresby, Kina Bank Country Head Chief Operating Officer, Ms. Lesieli Taviri, said that the new payment platform is pretty much a free of charge service and is available to even people who bank with the other commercial banks. “It’s an opportunity for us to offer our fee free services to customers outside of Kina Bank, so you don’t have to have a Kina Bank account or Kina issued card to be able to top up your mobile phones or pay for your easy pay,” said Ms. Taviri “It is available to all customers, all they need to do is to create their account, activate account and they will have access to their services.” She said the current services available on the platform include mobile top- up, PNG Power easipay and bills payments; however, she said that they will be adding a couple more new services and features to the payment platform going forward. Ms. Taviri further explained that the Pei Beta platform can also be accessed by people living overseas to make payments here at home. “So, you may have wantoks who are living overseas, instead of them sending you the money to your account and then you pay for your top- up or your mobile phone, they can get on to Pei Beta and they can pay for your mobile phone and top- up there. It’s one step less and obviously its fee free and accessible to anyone, not only Kina Bank customers.” Pie Beta is now available online for people to register by simply going to www.peibeta.com and select Create Account from the Home or Login page to register and create an account.
