The desire to make life easier for people has made Quickteller venture into the transport business, designing innovative services to enrich the travel booking experience.
The company has launched Quickteller Transport to allow users to easily search and book inter-state trips from multiple travel operators across Nigeria.
Quickteller Transport is embedded as a service on Quickteller Web and Mobile app and is available for use by both new and existing Quickteller customers.
Users will also be able to filter their search to specific or preferred operators and compare fares based on vehicle type, departure point and time, and specialised access functions provided by transport operators, including seat selection and preferred pick-up location option, all at their convenience.
According to the consumer digital lifestyle and payments platform powered by Interswitch, Quickteller Transport was created in line with its mission to develop technology solutions that connect and empower individuals, businesses, and communities across Africa.
The Quickteller Transport Service is another step in the company’s continued commitment to providing its customers with convenient access to lifestyle and payment services, the Managing Director of Interswitch Industry Ecosystems Division, Ms Chinyere Don-Okhuofu, stated.
“Transportation is a necessary aspect of human life, enabling social and economic interactions. In keeping with our culture of driving innovation and positively impacting consumer lifestyle in society, we developed our Quickteller Transport service to provide added travel booking and payment convenience to our over 5 million customers.
“Built as a multimodal offering, we will be rolling it out to include other travel and transportation modes such as trains and ferries, working with operators across Nigeria.
“We are ecstatic to be launching this service. And as we launch our suite of new complementary services, Quickteller customers can be assured of our commitment to providing an excellent experience using Quickteller to access all their lifestyle and payment needs,” Ms Don-Okhuofu added.
