Businesswomen’s Association promotes BluMobi

A workshop to promote the new BluMobile service that will be of great value for businesswomen in particular, will be hosted by the Limpopo branch of the Businesswomen’s Association of South Africa (Bwasa) in collaboration with Standard Bank on 26 April. The event will include a presentation on Financial Management Skills.
Jeff-Neil van der Merwe, Provincial Sales and Service Manager of Standard Bank Limpopo explained that BluMobi is a card acceptance device which works in conjunction with the BluMobi app and allows smartphone users with iOS, Android and Blackberry devices to accept MasterCard and Visa PIN based cards.
It is perfectly suited to mobile sales representatives, mobile service representatives, seasonal and weekend traders as well as delivery and courier services.
“One of the problems facing businesses today is collecting payments for services. This can be particularly difficult if the business operates ‘on the go’ and does not have access to a normal card acceptance terminal,” Van der Merwe said.
All women entrepreneurs that have a current Standard Bank account and are attending the workshop will receive a BluMobi device at no cost.
Pre-booking is essential. Contact Elizabeth Modiba, Branch Coordinator of Bwasa Limpopo on 083 278 2040/015 297 8876 not later than 22 April.
