The agreement made in Blantyre, was officially announced by the bank's chief marketing officer Wilkins Mijiga and Multichoice marketing manager Chimwemwe Nyirenda.

“It would be very convenient for...customers based in areas far from cities where they can pay subscription to pay through our service centres,” said Mijiga who also disclosed that the next payment platform would be through mobile phone and the auto teller machine.

At the moment customers would be required to fill the bank's utility deposit slip according to the bank's transactional manager, Ellen Kumpukwe.

“Our system would be gathering data on DStv subscribers every 15 minutes and sending it to Multichoice,” she said.

Multichoice's Nyirenda said customers must always leave their decoders on within paying bugdets for undisturbed activation.
