Centenary Bank account holders will no longer have to visit Umeme offices to pay their electricity bills following the unveiling of a partnership between the two companies dubbed Umeme CenteMobile Yaka Service. The partnership will enable subscribers to the bank’s CenteMobile banking platform prepay and post pay their power bills instantly using their mobile phones without any charges levied.
Centenary Bank MD Fabian Kasi speaking during the unveiling of the partnership on February 18, 2014 at the bank’s headquarters in Kampala said, “We have an existing relationship with Umeme having been involved in physical over the counter payments as well as being collection agents for them during their IPO in 2012. This relationship informed the decision to start this partnership being the only mobile banking platform currently offering the Yaka payment facility.
