Interswitch, Africa’s leading digital payments and commerce provider, has announced an integration of its Quickteller services with BlackBerry’s BBM™.The groundbreaking service will be made possible via a new app called Quickteller Mini, available for smartphones running Android™, BlackBerry and iOS®.
With this partnership, BBM users with a Nigerian bank account can make a request for money, airtime and payment for services from one of their BBM contacts.
