“What makes Ethio Pay profitable is not the number of ATMs; it rather is the large numbers of users. Our concern now is to work on promoting the system for increased customer involvement,” said Bizuneh.

After last month’s unofficial launch of Ethio-Pay, customers of other banks complained that the Bank of Abyssinia’s (BoA) ATMs did not provide service for other cards; guards of some branches unaware of the complete switch operation were seen forbidding customers from trying their cards at the ATMs.

The switch does not treat banks that have fewer ATMs any differently than those with larger networks in place. In fact, the system enables hosted members, banks without their own payment switches, to issue ATM cards without having to invest in a network of machines. It is also open to the integration of newcomers in the future without additional payments for letting their customers transact on other ATMs, the CEO added.

In order for your patients to make payments using SnapScan they will need to download the free SnapScan App (if they have not already done so).  The SnapScan App is available for iPhone, Android and Blackberry smartphones.  Note that, because the SnapScan user's credit card details are loaded and encrypted onto their phone, it is not necessary for them to actually carry their credit card.  This makes it impossible to lose or skim the credit card, thereby increasing the level of security.

It is possible for your patients to effect payment using QR codes that were not generated by Panacea.  For example, when you register as a merchant they will send you a "generic" QR code that contains your SnapCode (merchant ID) but does not contain any tracking info or a payment amount.  If one of these "generic" QR codes is used Panacea will not be able to generate the payment and allocations automatically, but you will be notified of the payment via Panacea in the normal way .
