Tuesday 20 August 2013 10:29 CET | News

BlueKite, a provider of web-based platform which allows consumers to make cross-border bill payments worldwide, has extended its services to Ecuador, Nicaragua and Panama. The company has developed a technology that provides payment options to consumers who emigrated and still support friends and families back in their home countries by means of remittances.

The bill-payment services and utilities available through BlueKite include: Claro, CNT, ETAPA and EERSSA in Ecuador, Movistar and ENACAL in Nicaragua and IDAAN, ASEO, ENSA, SKY, CABLE ONDA, Claro TV and Claro in Panama. The company has been providing payment services to local billers including utilities and telecommunications companies in Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador.

BlueKite has been validating its model and processes with an agent network in Florida using a clerk-assisted in-store version of the platform. The company is expecting to launch a direct-to-consumer service via internet and mobile devices.

In recent news, BlueKite has secured USD 1.5 million in a funding round led by the founding team and privately-held investment company PeopleFund.
