Moscow, Russia, December 29, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The UNISTREAM International Money Transfer System has launched its own electronic wallet, which will become a financial communications hub for clients. The payment service allows users to quickly and easily manage their key money streams via any device with Internet access, and make payments and money transfers without opening a bank account.
Through June 30, 2014, customers will be able to use the Unistream Money wallet to make non-address money transfers up to 100,000 rubles to Russia, the CIS and other countries (Albania, Bulgaria, the United Kingdom, Vietnam, Greece, Israel, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Mongolia, the Czech Republic, etc.) for free. The transfers can be cashed out at any UNISTREAM point in receiving countries that accepts non-address transfers. Transfers from one Unistream Money wallet to another are also free of commission fees. Users can also transfer money from their wallets to bankcards, bank accounts, or other e-wallets. These operations are subject to standard UNISTREAM rates.
With the help of e-wallets, users can make payments to about 900 companies, enabling them to pay major Russian mobile operators, utility bills, Rostelecom bills, TV bills, bills from internet service providers, payments for online games, and other popular services. The list of these companies will be continuously expanded. Customers can also use their e-wallets to repay loans at any Russian bank. Through June 30, 2014, users will be able to make the most popular payments for free (with no commission fees), including: mobile bills (MegaFon, Beeline, MTS), social networks (VKontakte and Odnoklassniki), loan repayment, traffic police fines, and about a hundred online games including Steam, World Of Tanks, etc.
Users can top up their Unistream Money electronic wallet accounts at UNISTREAM service points (over 200 outlets in Russia) and at the majority of offices of Unistream partner banks in Russia and abroad. Soon, bankcards and other electronic wallets can also be used to top up the accounts.
"We have made the Unistream Money wallet interface user-friendly and intuitive because the new service’s target audience is very wide. It will be useful for everyone who needs a single easy-to-use solution for all kinds of payments. With the electronic wallet, you save yourself from having to stand in lines to pay utility bills or traffic police fines, to go to the bank to make a monthly installment or make a transfer, or to look for a terminal to top up your mobile phone account. In short, it will save you a significant amount of time,” says Kirill Palchun, UNISTREAM CEO. "Today, we are talking about the completion of the first stage of the Unistream Money e-wallet project. In the first half of 2014, the wallet will be continually evolving and improving. Its functionality will be expanded, new top-up channels will be added, and the number of merchants will also be increased."
The wallet sign-up procedure takes a few seconds. You will need to type in your mobile phone number and the verification code. To make a money transfer from a wallet with cash or to make payments totaling more than 15,000 rubles, you must be identified by the system. To this end, you will have to visit a UNISTREAM service point and have your ID with you and file an application. If a customer makes a transfer in excess of 15,000 rubles at any UNISTREAM point and agrees to use the Unistream Money service, his/her wallet is automatically registered and identified.
