Postilion, a provider of software solutions for self-service banking and payments, has been chosen by du, the integrated telecom service provider in the UAE, to provide a payments platform. Payment transactions, whether they are contract fees, top-up payments, or content purchases, are processed using Postilion's Electronic Recharge and Payment Switching solution. du was formed to provide telephony and communications services in the UAE and was launched in February 2007. du aims to give customers the highest levels of support and innovative services in the market.  As part of this overall strategy, du's new payments gateway was designed to make settling mobile phone bills and adding money to customer accounts far easier than traditional methods. du had just 12 months to create a full telecommunications and payment infrastructure to support its customers. In order to achieve its ambitions, du worked with Postilion and Mi-Pay, a processor specializing in outsourced mobile payments. Together, the roll-out of a payments gateway to support du's customer base of approximately 1,500,000 users was completed on time and du's customers can now settle bills and set up automated bill payments or fixed-amount transfers directly from their mobile phone.  Alternatively, payments can be made at ATMs or in retail stores thanks to Postilion providing du with connectivity to the banking infrastructure.
