EcoCash, Zimbabwe’s leading mobile money platform, has partnered with MultiChoice Zimbabwe to offer a more convenient way for millions of local subscribers to pay for DStv. This new collaboration allows EcoCash users to pay their monthly DStv subscriptions directly from their EcoCash wallets. With just a few taps on their mobile phones, customers can now instantly activate their DStv accounts and gain access to a wide array of entertainment options.
The partnership between EcoCash and MultiChoice is set to make life easier for many Zimbabweans. By offering this new payment method, EcoCash aims to simplify the subscription process for DStv, which is a popular satellite and digital TV provider across Africa. The service is designed to provide a secure and easy payment option, enabling subscribers to enjoy their favorite international sports, movies, news, and more, from anywhere in the country.
An EcoCash spokesperson expressed excitement about the partnership with MultiChoice. “We are excited to work with MultiChoice to add value to our customers by creating a convenient payment option for DStv subscribers,” the spokesperson said. This new payment solution is expected to enhance the user experience for many, making it easier to manage subscriptions and access a variety of entertainment from the comfort of their homes.
DStv, a service provided by MultiChoice, offers a vast range of exclusive content. This includes the latest movies, popular TV shows, and live international sports, such as the English Premier League. For many Zimbabweans, DStv is a gateway to global entertainment, and having a straightforward payment method through EcoCash will ensure uninterrupted access to their favorite programs.
EcoCash is encouraging its customers, especially those with smartphones, to utilize the new EcoCash app for paying their DStv subscriptions. The app is designed to be user-friendly and efficient. “Paying your DStv subscription using the EcoCash App is super-fast as a customer simply selects ‘DStv’ at the bottom on the App’s landing page, enters their Smart Card Number, and completes the payment in an instant,” EcoCash explained.
For those who prefer traditional methods, EcoCash has ensured that customers can still use the USSD channel to pay their DStv subscriptions. By dialing *153# on their phones, customers can access the payment service without needing a smartphone or internet connection. The process is straightforward: after dialing the number, they enter their PIN, choose ‘Make Payment,’ then ‘Direct Payments,’ and select ‘Pay DStv.’ From there, they follow the prompts to either renew their subscription, change their package, or top up their account by entering their Smart Card Number before completing the payment.
The EcoCash service also promises an added benefit of automatic reactivation of DStv accounts once payments are made. This feature is designed to save time and provide a seamless experience for subscribers. Instead of waiting for a manual reactivation, which could take hours or even days, customers can enjoy immediate access to their DStv service right after making a payment. This instant activation is a significant advantage for those who rely on DStv for entertainment, news, and sports, ensuring they never miss a moment of their favorite shows or live events.
