New Delhi, Delhi, India, Wednesday, February 24, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Taking this era of SMS to the next level, Cyber Café Association of India (CCAOI) along with ZipCash has unleashed a new phase in the payment option. Now payment for utility bills, online shopping, even retail shopping will be just an SMS away. The consumers will be able to pay for products and services by simply sending an SMS. By opening a ZipCash Account and topping up the account by Cash Card, Cheques, Net Banking, Credit Cards etc., the consumers will be able to pay whenever or wherever they want.

ZipCash will be the best solution for Indian society, which is still not largely effected by Credit Cards. In this mode of payment, the consumers will also be free from credit card number theft, online phishing and other safety issues as without disclosing credit card or bank account numbers, people will be able to do shopping or pay for their services anywhere at any time.

The revolutionary step of ZipCash is supported by CCAOI, the voice of thousands of cyber cafes spread across the nation. Through the collaboration with CCAOI, ZipCash has got access to millions of Indians who access Internet through the cybercafés. The consumers will also be able to send SMS payment from the cyber cafes. CCAOI is committed to take care of all the challenges that the consumers may face while using ZipCash like PC, language, assistance etc. Vivek Saxena, Co-Founder & CEO, ZipCash added, "This alliance will empower millions to be a part of the digital revolution and transact online to buy tickets, goods, services and pay their bills in a safe, secure and convenient manner."
