The app helps you buy airtime, pay bills, send money and receive money via your favourite messaging app!
Biyabot is a utility app that allows its users to make payment seamlessly through a conversational interface of any messaging app available on smartphones or desktop.
With the use of the app, users can now make payments for airtime, utility bills, subscribe to Paytv (DSTV, GOTV e.t.c) and transfer money via chat. More so, this service is offered by startup free of charge to its users.
Today, chatting through messaging platforms has become a basic activity for all strata of the society. As a result, Biya is leveraging this trend to drive financial inclusion in Africa.
According to the Biya during launch: “We’ve always been working on solutions to better our world but sometime in 2016, borne on the premise to drive financial inclusion with ease of service and fewer limitations.”
“We looked into the future and leveraged artificial intelligence to build Biyabot. We presented our bot at the Nigerian Interbank Settlement Systems (NIBSS) Innovation challenge in July 2017. And our product got awarded “Top innovative solutions to enhance e-payments”.
“After several months of iterating and pilot-tests to deliver a perfect product for you, we have launched Biya.”
How Biyabot works
Biya works through the use of messaging channels such as Facebook Messenger, Skype, Telegram and Slack. Also, the app works through native web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox Mozilla and Opera mini.
