AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> TAIFA Stars skipper and Aston Villa striker, Mbwana Samatta has launched a digital payment system application dubbed as \u2018SamaPay\u2019\u00a0\u00a0 that enables its users to gain some points after cash payment.<\/p>\n

The App which was officially launched yesterday in Dar\u00a0 es \u00a0Salaam\u00a0 enables\u00a0 a\u00a0 customer\u00a0 who\u00a0 has downloaded the application from\u00a0 Google\u00a0 Store to make payments\u00a0 in\u00a0 various\u00a0 restaurants, store and\u00a0\u00a0 boutiques in the country by\u00a0 discount in different\u00a0 per cent.<\/p>\n

Speaking\u00a0\u00a0 with press during the launch via video conference from London, UK, Taifa Stars skipper Samatta disclosed\u00a0 that\u00a0 he was thrilled\u00a0 to launch a\u00a0 digital firm that enables\u00a0\u00a0 people\u00a0\u00a0 to\u00a0 purchase\u00a0 products\u00a0\u00a0 through\u00a0\u00a0 the\u00a0 Sama Pay\u00a0 App.<\/p>\n

Samatta\u00a0 said\u00a0 the\u00a0\u00a0 App\u00a0 will enable\u00a0 people\u00a0 to transform\u00a0 their\u00a0 ways\u00a0\u00a0 of\u00a0 paying\u00a0 bills\u00a0 from\u00a0 hard\u00a0 currency\u00a0 to cashless\u00a0 society and\u00a0\u00a0 their\u00a0 clients will enjoy\u00a0 paying their bills and enjoy the agreed discounts.<\/p>\n

He said,\u00a0 their\u00a0 clients\u00a0 will\u00a0 enjoy\u00a0 different\u00a0 offers\u00a0\u00a0 as\u00a0 well\u00a0 as discounts which\u00a0 will\u00a0\u00a0 range\u00a0 from\u00a0\u00a0 five up to ten per cent discounts and\u00a0 above\u00a0\u00a0 depending\u00a0\u00a0 on\u00a0 the\u00a0 agreement\u00a0 and the amount obtained as discount may be turned into points which will later on be used as means of purchasing different items in stores that uses Sama Pay Merchant.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the payment is received, merchant can issue reward points to the customer based on the agreed discount with Sama Pay by simply scanning the customer\u2019s QR code directly from their devices\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201ccurrently Sama Pay users have to pay cash and get the discount depend on the per cent offered by the merchant example if client buys a\u00a0 pizza valued at 10,000\/- and gets five per cent discount, it means he\/she will have to pay 9,500\/- and the remaining 500 will be added to his Sama Pay App as the points\u201d<\/p>\n

SamaPay App is joint venture project between Samatta and a Korean company known as Paymaker with the intention of enabling people to benefit from their payments.<\/p>\n

The SamaPay APP is accepted in Regency Park Hotel, Menbase, The Rub spa, Terrace Lounge & Restaurant, Atsoko, Scott\u2019s pizza and Mimi beauty salon all located in Dar es Salaam. Samatta invites other merchants to use the service.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile SamaPay App\u2019s Head of Business Development, Mike Raymond said the service will enable both users, clients and the merchant to benefit, and he feels proud to witness the services taking place in Tanzania and founded by Tanzanians.<\/p>\n

Also the Samagoal Management and SamaPay Head of Strategy, Emmanuel Massawe urges people to utilise the service and enjoy different benefits while supporting the player.<\/p>\n

He added merchants who will\u00a0 use the service will get different benefits like promoting their businesses, increase sales, being closer and well connected with the customers.<\/p>\n

The points obtained can be used in purchasing other items and may as well be turned to cash depending on the users\u2019 will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
