HDFC Ties up with

HDFC Ties up with "ngpay"

Techtree News Staff, May 06, 2008 1814 hrs IST

HDFC Bank had partnered "ngpay" earlier this year to enable its customers purchase air/rail/movie tickets; buy gifts and flowers; and pay bills using their bank accounts and credit cards.

A new service has been launched allowing customers secure fund transfers through mobile phones; it works on phones with GPRS across all telecom networks. "ngpay" has been developed by Bangalore-based JiGrahak Mobility Solutions.

"Ngpay" is a free software, which when loaded on to your mobile phone allows you conduct transactions on the move with merchants, banks, and service providers through a simple, consolidated menu on the mobile. Services such as buying mutual funds, accessing bank accounts, shopping, ticketing and payments are also enabled.

HDFC Bank had partnered "ngpay" earlier this year to enable its customers purchase air/rail/movie tickets; buy gifts and flowers; and pay bills using their bank accounts and credit cards.

Those customers of HDFC Bank who're registered for fund transfer facility under the bank's NetBanking services can download the "ngpay" application on their mobile handsets, and begin transferring funds immediately. Starting next month, HDFC Bank customers will also be able to buy and sell units of different HDFC Mutual Fund schemes through "ngpay", the bank said.

Now to get started, if you have any mobile phone offering Java, all you need do is sms "ngpay" to 56767 else you can simply visit www.ngpay.com and enter your mobile number there. This correspondent tried both options, unfortunately the application never downloaded on the mobile phone. Even when it did, it did not seem to work. Upon calling customer service, they said one of the reasons for the service not to work was insufficient balance on a pre-paid phone. Given that that might be the case, what about another phone that downloaded the application only to show 'application error'. One more SOS call to customer service yielded "our technical person will get back within 24 hours". So only the 24 hours will tell. Till then, if any of you needs the helpline, here it is: 080 6700 4000.

dude, where are these comments coming from? The app did not work for him, are the employees of ngpay too busy commenting on their own product to call this poor guy back? I like the idea but it needs to wrk for real consumers

Dude, which handset you are using? I am using this killer app from last 2 years on Nokia 6030 and so far no issues. Please check with your operator.

I have been using this killer app for the past one year and have become its ardent fan. Booked a lot of movie tickets through them off late. Its quite overwhelming to read such a review. Though I am using it on Nokia N73 but the remarkable part is that one of my friends has been able to use it through Nokia 6610i, a really low end 3 year old phone. There must be some issue with the GRRS service of your telco or you are still using your 5 year old cordless.

What handset were you guys using? The app installed correctly on my N82, and I've used it successfully to pay my electricity bills :)
