Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>CRDB Bank and Air Tanzania Corporation Limited (ATCL) have signed an agreement to enable passengers to purchase tickets through the lender\u2019s network after integrating their payment systems.<\/p>\n

The signing came as the national career is planning to introduce flights to Nigeria, South Africa, the United Kingdom and China in near future.<\/p>\n

CRDB, one of the largest lenders in the inland and the airline inked the deal in Arusha city on Tuesday, where the airline passengers can now buy tickets via the bank\u2019s 268 branches and over 20,000 agents plus using Simbanking digital features.<\/p>\n

CRDB\u2019s Managing Director, Mr Abdulmajid Nsekela said the partnership with the national airline will simplify ticket payment methods for passengers and tipped to better service for ATCL.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile customers will be able to pay for their tickets more easily, the integration of this payment system with the ATCL system will significantly increase efficiency in terms of receipt of tickets payment,\u201d Mr Nsekela said during the soft signing ceremony.<\/p>\n

The agreement elevated the previous method where passengers were able to pay using the lender\u2019s TemboCard only. This means any passenger may procure tickets using the new integrated system regardless one is a customer of CRDB or not.<\/p>\n

\u201cI challenge passengers to use this payment means, which I assure them is safe and easy to use\u2026our [CRDB wakala] agents across the country welcome you onboard,\u201d Mr Nsekela said.<\/p>\n

The ATCL Managing Director and CEO, Eng Ladislaus Matindi said CRDB is the first bank to offer such service to the airline saying they currently controls 75 per cent of the market share.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn near future, we will introduce some strategy oversea frequencies to Nigeria, South Africa, China and the United Kingdom expected to begin soon,\u201d Eng Matindi said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are confident that this partnership with CRDB will help achieve our goal of providing quality air transport services in and outside the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The airline boss said the payment system integration has gone hand in hand with their domestic and international expansion programmes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership goes parallel with our business expansion strategies that geared to ensure that the customers enjoy better services whenever they are,\u201d Mr Matindi said.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement passenger will continue to book online via the airline website or agent and give a control number which will be used to make payment using the CRDB network from branches to \u2018wakala\u2019 to Simbanking\u2014the digital platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cA passenger needs only to show ticket reservation number and make payments at any the lender\u2019s branch or agent. In the case of SimBanking the passenger will go to the menu and select payment and then ATCL airline, enter the reservation number and then make the payment, \u201dsaid Eng Matindi.<\/p>\n
