This relaunch reinforces our mission to build technology that simplifies life, empowers people financially, and strengthens the digital economy.” The new Zojapay introduces an enhanced reward system where users receive cashback, discounts, and exclusive benefits each time they pay for electricity, cable TV, internet, airtime, or other everyday services. The company has also expanded its capabilities to include a comprehensive subscription offering that allows users to seamlessly access packages for internet and data bundles, streaming platforms, household essentials, and a variety of digital services within a single app. This positions Zojapay as an integrated platform that simplifies bill payments, subscription management, and financial planning while creating consistent value for users.
