For September 2008, Ukash, posts a 130 percent increase in UK and European issued prepaid vouchers over the corresponding period of the previous year.
Ukash is a cash payment services provider for online and mobile commerce. Ukash is aimed at those who wish to shop online but either do not have a bank account or a credit card or fear they will be the victim of credit card fraud or identity theft. Ukash is a method of shopping, playing and paying online that does not imply revealing private bank details. Customers can pay cash for a Ukash voucher in a local shop where the PayPoint, payzone or e-pay sign is displayed. The unique 19 digit Ukash number is then used to pay for goods and services online. Ukash vouchers are available from thousands of convenient locations across Europe and direct to mobile on Vodafone UK. Ukash vouchers can be redeemed on lifestyle, shopping, Voice over IP, social networking, virtual worlds and gaming websites across 20 countries.
