Qatar National Bank (QNB) has expanded its
mobile payment service, eazypay, to enable merchants to accept
payments from customers via text message.

Customers will need to register for the
service over the phone and will then receive instructions to
activate the eazypay service.

Eazypay was initially launched in September
2010, but has since been expanded to include merchant
transactions.

QNB said it plans to offer more options for
merchants via eazypay.

The service allows customers to transfer funds
of up to QAR2,000 per day ($549), provided the receiver is
registered as an eazypay user.
