eFAWATEERcom online payments ‘exceed JD2 billion since 2015’

AMMAN — Payments through eFAWATEERcom, an online bill payment service, have exceeded JD2 billion since it was launched in late September 2015, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported on Tuesday. The Central bank of Jordan (CBJ) data showed that the number of financial transactions since the launch of the system amounted to about 4.7 million.

The number of transactions made through JoMoPay, which was recently launched by the CBJ to serve citizens and residents who do not have bank accounts, indicates the “reliability” of mobile payment services, the CBJ said, noting that it increased ways that enable citizens to conduct their financial transactions and electronic payments. Ninty-eight institutions use eFAWATEERcom to issue bills, while 25 companies are expected to register before the end of this year, according to Petra.
