Time is precious for all of us, with so many things to do each day. Technology is continuously evolving and COSMOTE Romania is keeping up to its pace in order to provide its customers with the most time effective tools for their daily activities.
 
Starting today, the operator is granting to all its customers the access to the mobilPay MasterCard Mobile application, a payment method using directly the mobile phone and a mobile broadband data service, without any other devices needed. The mobile app is available for both postpaid and prepaid COSMOTE customers, which are also MasterCard users. The application was developed in partnership with Netopia and MasterCard and the largest quota from the transactions made through this application comes from the telecom industry.
 
“In a fast moving era, we continue to develop and bring our customers the easiest and most convenient methods that will bring more efficiency into their lives. The new mobile app offers a fast and secured, worldwide renowned solution, for mobile phone bills payment, as well as for recharging the COSMOTE prepaid accounts. We trust this new enhancement in our services’ portfolio will reinforce and continue to build on our smartphone centric operator strategy”, stated Gabriel Ionita, Products & Services Development Senior Manager.
 
 “Romanians are assimilating fast everything that is cutting edge technology and mobile payment will not be an exception. I believe that their adoption will overpass in a few years the one of online card payment. We relied on creating new payments method for users, which further became standards in the industry, as well as SMS payments and, now, payments from mobile phones. Our efforts to develop this new market and to be again pioneers in the mobile payments are supported by top companies, which decided to join us, as partners”, stated Antonio Eram, CEO and founder of NETOPIA mobilPay.

The international experience of MasterCard proves that the mobile phone is becoming a favourite electronic payment tool, and a partner such as COSMOTE confirms this fact”.
 
mobilPay MasterCard Mobile app is a web based application and offers customers the possibility to pay their own invoices/recharge their prepaid card or other friend’s and family’s invoices/prepaid cards.
 
Moreover, from the MasterCard account, the COSMOTE customer will be able to pay: invoices for other mobile/fixed operators available in mobilPay MasterCard Mobile app, utilities invoices available in mobilPay MasterCard Mobile app and different services/deals available in mobilPay MasterCard Mobile app.
