Kibo Capital Group Limited has launched a new platform for making purchases of airtime, paying Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) Post Paid bills and buying electricity token easier.
The Safaricom PLC Paybill backed system christened TSenda is an off-shoot of and is supported by Kibo’s innovative e-Receipts generating system like in their other company PaymentGate LLP.
The company says Kenyans can use SMS short code 40512 to purchase airtime for any network in Kenya and also purchase their prepaid electricity token by sending their account number and amounts to the same short code. For example MobileNumber#Amount (2547********#100).
With a mobile phone, you can now purchase airtime for any network be it Safaricom, Airtel, Telkom by sending SMS using short code 40512 for example to buy airtime for your Safaricom line; one just sends the amount to the toll-free short code and wait for prompt to enter PIN; to purchase airtime for Airtel and Telkom, one needs to enter mobile number, followed by hashkey (#), then the amount and wait for prompt for PIN.
The toll-free short code can also be used when you want to purchase prepaid electricity token, all you need to do is sending your account number and amount to 40512. For those on KPLC Post Paid, the Paybill Number to use is 732929, saving time and money and also offering a cheap retrieval of past receipts.
