NETONE'S OneWallet mobile money service has proven its mettle as the most secure mobile money service in Zimbabwe..
This mobile money service is expanding in leaps and bounds as NetOne aggressively increases the agency network for OneWallet to conveniently deliver the service anywhere cross the country in Zimbabwe.
NetOne Marketing & Sales Director had only kind words for OneWallet's agency recruitment drive.
"We are proud to be expanding our dealership network through equipping all our airtime dealers nationwide to become OneWallet money agents.
We have competitive tariffs for sending and receiving cash and OneWallet has created a heavy downstream industry where Small and Medium Enterprises are benefitting from setting up mobile kiosks to sell our airtime and conduct OneWallet transactions," she said.
"For one to enjoy NetOne's OneWallet one is required to swap their SIM card to a 128K at a NetOne OneWorld Shop, dealer or Zimpost outlet.
"This is because the 128K SIM card is armed with an encryption algorithm which ensures security of transactions and passwords on the SIM card and not over the air which carries a risk of being hacked.
OneWallet has a robustly secure system that only you can access your Personal Identification Number (PIN)," she explained, emphasising that security is the key differentiator for OneWallet over other mobile networks' mobile money services.
Apart from sending and receiving cash with OneWallet, one can also top up their airtime account from their virtual money account and also top up another person's airtime from a OneWallet virtual account. Registration for OneWallet is simple.
One conducts partial registration on their mobile phone on their 128K SIM card and visits the nearest NetOne dealer, Zimpost outlet or OneWorld Shop for verification of identity particulars as part of the process to ensure authenticity of account, as part of the robust security required for conducting OneWallet transactions.
Mrs Ndoro-Mandiya also indicated that NetOne has opened new OneWorld Shops to enable customers from everywhere in Zimbabwe to access NetOne's cocktail of services.
The new shops are in Zvishavane, Kwekwe, Ramjis Shop in Bulawayo, Runniville in Greendale and Kamfinsa shop to be opened soon.
Over and above these shops there are mobile kiosks and dealerships nationwide which are one-stop shops.
"Apart from OneWallet, NetOne has mobile broadband which can be accessed on smartphones and dongles.
"The mobile network is on an expansion drive of the mobile broadband service. Already in major cities, rural areas, tourist resorts and towns the service is available, there is need to intensify, expand and diversify service provision on the mobile broadband platform," she added, further indicating that NetOne was assisting rural children to access mobile broadband and access the world through the internet.
