A new online payment service- iWallet- which will enhance electronic transactions and reduce the hassle associated with shopping, has been launched in Accra.Put together by Dream Oval Ltd., a young group of Ghanaian entrepreneurs, the service is to revolutionarise e-commerce in Ghana.With iWallet consumers are able to make purchases of products and services of any kind anywhere at the comfort of their homes, offices and wait patiently for delivery.Derry Dean Dadzie, Chief Executive Officer of Dream Oval told stakeholders and a section of the media on Wednesday, iWallet has come to expand the frontiers of local businesses whilst mitigating the inconvenience consumers have to go through in purchasing one product or another.“This will provide great benefits for local businesses as they can now expand their market base across the country, keep shops open 24/7 and automate sales processes.“… People in Ghana today are at times subjected to going through hours of traffic to purchase their goods and make household payments. No more. With iWallet any Ghanaian will be able to sit in the comfort of their home and purchase household goods, food, clothing, etc online and have them delivered at home as well as make payments without leaving their desk.Dadzie told Myjoyonline.com at the sidelines of the product launch that the dream to innovate and produce iwallet became even more entrenched when Ghana and Nigeria were both blacklisted at one time from engaging in internet purchase of products.“Ghana and Nigeria have this bad reputation for internet [business] transaction so we thought we could do something that works within our country so that we can tell the story to other parts of the world,” he stated.
Product Development Manager at Dream Oval, Claude Hutchful in a seamless demonstration of how the iWallet works said prospective users must first sign on to the platform on www.i-walletlive.com and top up their account with Airtel money after which they will be able to purchase products from companies which have signed onto the iWallet service.Kofi Asamoah of the Engineering department assured of the security guarantees in using iWallet. He said the product has gone through rigorous authentication and authorization formalities with a view to preventing fraudulent activities and hacking of the systems.
