8ta has empowered their subscribers by enhancing their free self-service portal with the ability to purchase airtime and data bundles online via credit card.
The portal is safe, as Telkom has chosen 3-D secure for subscribers when disclosing their credit card details online. The system enables credit card holders to add a password over and above the usual credit card expiry and CVV three digit numbers.
"If your credit card is not already 3-D verified, the portal will securely verify the 3-D secure password online. The normal credit card process can then be completed, even with no airtime on the account, as the credit card application is zero rated," explains Telkom Mobile managing executive, Amith Maharaj.
Over time, the portal will be enhanced, based on subscriber feedback, market benchmarks and other developments in self-service technology.
