Warba Bank, Kuwait’s best investment bank and corporate consultancy institution, is stepping up efforts to develop its digital infrastructure through providing its customers with time-and-effort-saving technological banking solutions that enable them to easily manage their banking operations through online and mobile applications. As a result, the Bank has recently topped its "Express" e-services by launching its new "Express Bill" service for the automatic payment of mobile phone bills. The new service is designed to provide convenience and flexibility to customers' lives as now they no longer need to manage the process every single month.
Through the new service, Warba Bank's customers can also automatically pay their own monthly bills and those of their family members at once and with a banking process to schedule the automatic deduction of the values of those bills by following simple and easy steps.
The customer can create, view and edit the "Express Bill" schedules through online banking services. First, the client signs into their online account and then goes to the "Payment Services" section and selects "Express Bill". These steps are followed by creating a new schedule and selecting the account that the customer would like to deduct the bill value from, and then selecting the predefined telephone number, which can be specified in the pre-defined phone numbers section. After that, the customer can opt to pay the bill or re-charge and then they can enter the amount and the payment day of each month. It should be noted that the deduction of the value set in advance by the customer will be automatically done on the fixed date on a monthly basis. This saves the customer the trouble of doing the banking process every time they want to pay their mobile bills.
In addition, the bank's customer can pay more than two bills via "Express Bill", with a minimum payment of KD 1.00 and a maximum payment of KD 100. The minimum amount of recharge is KD 3, and the maximum is KD 100.
