initially introduced in South Africa in 1993, for the transfer of electricity prepayment tokens. Subsequently published by the IEC (International
advantages:
1.1 Compatibility.
Inter-operability between system components from different manufacturers of prepayment systems;
1.2 Easy Data (Water Volume/Credit) Transfer.
Water Credit/Volume transfer via 20 digits Token, no External Data transfer Media (Token-less);
1.3 Flexible Water Purchase (Prepaid Mode switchable to postpaid) that makes it much more convenient and easier.
1.3.1 Flexible Water Purchase Way at appointed agencies via POS or cash, Customer Self-service Mobile Phone via APP, USSD or by E-payment.
1.3.2 Customer self-service via Mobile phone, either through APP or USSD, by E-payment
