CHKPIN™ is an innovative and trustworthy recharge system designed to overcome the common problems associated with the distribution and use of physical recharge vouchers. CHKPIN™ also avoids the common problems experienced by Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in deploying electronic / virtual recharge solutions, especially in under-developed environments. The service is designed to be rapidly deployed; integrating seamlessly with the MNO’s current billing, IN and PIN management systems. With CHKPIN™, there is no need to continually distribute physical vouchers and no need to supply or maintain specialised retail equipment.

The CHKPIN™ service is cost-effective to use because it requires no point of sale terminals at Dealers, it does not need special SIM cards and because it is virtual, none of the import duties levied for physical vouchers will be accruable. All that is required is a GPRS-enabled handset, which means that the high logistics costs associated with physical recharge distribution are also eliminated. Charges are levied per transaction, thereby reducing the costs significantly for the Super Dealer.

CHKPIN™ has the potential to increase Average Revenue and Average Margin Per User because the virtual airtime solution can be made widely and consistently available to consumers and is not subject to the limitations of retail hours as the Runners’ stock levels can be topped up remotely, 24 hours a day.
