Sure Diego Garcia introduces online payments through Mi-Pay

Mi-Pay’s Telecommunication company Sure, is now able to accept online payments from island residents. The breakthrough is made possible thanks to a collaboration with payments specialist Mi-Pay.

For residents of Diego Garcia, paying their internet and phone bills has long been a physical affair. Especially during a pandemic, when the rest of the world has been able to switch from offline to online, Diego Garcia’s residents simply had no option but to pay with cash.

Sure had been trying to implement online payments for a long while but given the remote location and the small population of Diego Garcia, it had not proved possible to find a solution.

A more efficient billing process

The introduction of online payments on the remote island of Diego Garcia was made possible by the reimagining of Mi-Pay’s payment reminders solution. Instead of sending out reminders when payments are overdue, Sure now uses the underlying technology of Mi-Pay’s payment reminders platform to send out the initial invoices digitally, along with payment links, through which customers can easily make online payments.

“Given the various constraints on the island, we had to get a little creative. In the end, we converted our payment reminders platform into a proactive payment platform” says Shane McCarthy of Mi-Pay.
The result is that Sure Diego Garcia customers can now pay their invoices online, from the comfort and safety of their own accommodation.

Mark Heron, Chief Executive at Sure Diego Garcia: “When we set out to find a partner to help us resolve the payment problem, we reached out to Mi-Pay. We’re very pleased with the result. Our billing process is now more efficient and our customers can pay their bills remotely, without any risk to their safety.”
