Pay medical visit fees using mobiles

Siofok, April 4, 2007 - Hedz Hungary Ltd., in collaboration with Inter-Europa Bank, introduced their unique mobile payment service, iziSHOP®, at the XIX Hungarian Hospital Association Congress. This service is the first to allow patients to pay their medical visit fees by bank card, via their mobile phones.

Almost everyone has a mobile telephone and making use of its business potential in the various areas of transport, entertainment, administration and, naturally, healthcare, are a prime interest of Hedz Hungary Ltd, a company that has made payments via mobile phones a central part of its business and technological development.

The iziSHOP® mobile payment system’s business conception is built on a fundamentally different model than mobile payment systems. iziSHOP® offers the first payment service which is independent of the mobile provider, thus is available to both local and foreign mobile users, and payments don’t get charged to the user’s telephone bill or pre-paid phone card. All payments are made through the user’s bank card, which has much higher payment limits.

Another unique feature of iziSHOP® is that it is not simply another way to pay by bank card, but it covers the whole shopping process. By sending a simple text-message, the users can download the iziSHOP® Java application and then visit the interactive "Mall", where they can now pay their medical visit fee, or, in the near future, purchase a wide variety of products, ranging from bus passes and train tickets to concert tickets. "iziSHOP is a wonderfully flexible system, with minimal transaction fees, that allows payments of even several hundred thousand forints for a wide variety of services from transport to entertainment to administration. Up until now, due to the lack of such a system, businesses and services didn’t even dream of such possibilities," explains Sandor Fejes, managing director of Hedz.

A safe internet bank card payment system, provided by the eCommerce section of Inter-Europa Bank, furnishes the transactional background for iziSHOP® payments. "Our bank has always considered the expansion of bank card use to be an important task and we believe that iziSHOP® is a revolutionary new service on the market," commented Andras Deak, directing manager of Inter-Europa Bank’s eBusiness department. To develop safe data communications for iziSHOP®, Hedz worked in cooperation with the Crysys Laboratory in the Department of Telecommunications at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, with support from the Mobile Innovation Centre (MIK).
