Vodafone India has entered into a strategic tie-up with Walmart India to enable payments using its mobile payments service, M-Pesa.
Business members of the six wholesale stores owned and operated by Walmart India will be able to make payments using M-Pesa from their mobile anywhere, anytime.
The partnership with Walmart India gives all its members, including small businesses such as kiranas/resellers, the benefit of sending money through their mobile phones.
Under this arrangement, when a member-retailer based in any of these cities places an order with Walmart India, a Vodafone M-Pesa authorised agent will reach out to him and enable him to cash-in into his M-Pesa account.
Suresh Sethi, Business Head – M-Pesa, Vodafone India, said: “We are confident that this association will go a long way in simplifying the payments process for Walmart India from the members, especially resellers based in secondary markets.
“Starting with pilots in Amravati and Lucknow, we have now extended it to Aurangabad, Hyderabad, Rajahmundry, Guntur and Vijayawada and we hope to extend it pan-India soon.”
