XL Axiata and Blue Bird Group Present Taxi Payment Services Through XL Tunai

XL Axiata last Friday (4/10) announced its collaboration with Blue Bird Group to provide taxi payment services using XL Cash, digital wallet service for XL Axiata customers. This collaboration was announced on the sidelines of the APEC conference which was also used by XL Axiata as a testing ground for the LTE network. For the time being, Blue Bird Group taxi payments through XL Tunai are available only for taxi fleets in Bali.

Explained directly to press release What we received, for starters, is that the XL Tunai product now serves bill payments for 750 Blue Bird Group taxis throughout Bali. This collaboration was inaugurated by both parties today through the signing of a collaboration between Hasnul Suhaimi as President Director of XL Axiata with Nonie Purnomo, Vice President Business Development of Blue Bird Group.

Hasnul Suhaimi gave his response in an official statement to the media. “The development of XL Tunai aims to provide convenience for XL customers in transacting at any time and in a small amount. The partnership between XL and Blue Bird Group is part of XL's commitment to developing digital services, in line with the government's program to encourage the creation of digital services. less cash society. With this collaboration, XL users, both passengers and drivers, will enjoy the benefits, security and ease of transactions," he said.

In line with Hasnul, Nonie Purnomo hopes that with this service collaboration, Blue Bird customers can use more optimal and effective payment facilities. “The collaboration with XL Tunai adds an alternative to paying for our taxi fares other than cash, Blue Bird Group credit vouchers, both corporate and personal, credit cards and debit cards. Bali is the pilot project for this collaboration. We hope that the cooperation will soon be expanded to other cities where Blue Bird taxis operate,” said Nonie.

The transaction system offered is quite easy and fast. Customers who have “saved” in the service e-wallet it is enough to enter the command by accessing the service 123120*3# to then be able to access the Blue Bird taxi bill payment menu directly on the cellphone.

With the strength of the Blue Bird Group network that has spread across major cities in Indonesia and the XL Tunai service which until now is claimed to have 500.000 customers, XL's collaboration with the Blue Bird taxi network has strong potential to be accepted by the wider community.

Concept e-wallet which is clearly known as a secure and fast payment service is one of the strongest factors why this service can predictably get a positive response from consumers. “Customers' safety and comfort are our priority in developing XL Tunai services. Through this collaboration, XL users, both taxi drivers and passengers, will increasingly enjoy the convenience and comfort of XL services," said Hasnul in the official release.

With the introduction of the latest service from XL Tunai together with Blue Bird, XL Axiata's movement in developing its e-wallet service can be seen getting much better and not playing around in making significant developments. Maybe this can be one of the newest "weapons" for XL Axiata in competing with other telco operators who also launch similar services, such as with Telkomsel through its T-Cash product, then there is also Indosat which has the Dompetku service, the latest service from XL Tunai this time is a very good step to reach a wider market.

In 2012 XL Tunai start serving service remittances (remittance) to a number of countries. Then in June 2013 XL Tunai too launched an attractive payment service with XL Tap&Go, a payment method with an NFC sticker affixed to a mobile device. Of course the next hope of this service is service e-wallet can continue to expand to other sectors and become the best choice of users in making payment transactions.
