In order to strengthen the link of the population with electronic commerce and banking, the Cuban Telecommunications Company (Etecsa) in the province of Holguin, promotes the use of QR codes as an online payment alternative in the various entities of the territory.
The province has more than a hundred establishments that provide this service, among which are ExpoHolguín, Labiofam, the Gaviota hotel company and the Commerce and Gastronomy sector in the 14 municipalities, informed Darquiri Sánchez Castro, head of Etecsa’s commercial department in this eastern territory, in declarations to the Cuban News Agency (Agencia Cubana de Noticias – ACN).
He commented that the self-management of the services by the companies themselves is of great importance, for which the QR code is obtained through a web page designed to make the contracts between the entities with the associated bank account and eliminate delays in the current face-to-face procedures.
To request the contract, interested individuals or companies must access the website www.transfermovil.etecsa.cu/contratación, register the necessary data for validation, and once accepted, they will receive the accreditation attachment via e-mail.
The mobile wallet service, which will soon be available in the Transfermóvil application, will contribute to the process of bankarization the country is going through, since it makes it possible to manage money without the need for cards associated with bank accounts, he said.
This alternative will allow making electronic payments through the balance of the cell phone, as long as it does not exceed 80 thousand Cuban pesos and up to five thousand in freely convertible currency, and can be used wherever the Transfermóvil platform is enabled, for example, Cimex and Comercio (Commerce).
The Cuban Telecommunications Company promotes the development and generalization of the use of electronic payment channels as a priority of the digital transformation, in addition to raising the quality of the services provided through online gateways, where QR code is more visible today.
