A Bahamian financial technology provider says it has launched three new web extensions to give consumers greater flexibility in accessing these services directly through their web browser.

MobileAssist, in a statement, said TheBillPlace (bill payment), TicketBox (event ticketing) and DonationStation (donations) extensions will also provide a more convenient and adaptable payment experience for Bahamians.

It added that its clients can now choose between MobileAssist’s app and its new web-based platforms to handle bill payments, purchase event tickets or make charitable donations. The web extensions are designed to integrate seamlessly with clients’ existing processes, adapting to their needs and enhancing convenience.

“This move reflects our dedication to making financial transactions more flexible and accessible,” said Dr Donovan Moxey, MobileAssist’s chief executive. “By offering both app-based and web-based solutions, we ensure our clients and their customers can choose the platform that best suits their lifestyle and business needs.”

MobileAssist said the event ticketing extension was recently put to use after it won the bid to manage event ticketing for the Eddie Minnis concert at Nassau Cruise Port. It added that attendees “enjoyed a seamless experience” from ticket purchase to entry, underscoring the efficiency of TicketBox.

The company said app-based customers such as the Bahamas China Friendship Association are transitioning to the new web platform. New customers, such as Bahama Joy Ride & Snorkeling Adventures, say their guests can now pay using all major credit and debit cards without needing to download the app.

MobileAssist said the Bahamas Basketball Federation has also launched an ongoing fundraising campaign using DonationStation to support its junior and senior national teams. The funds raised will assist in Family Island development and grassroots programmes, while also supporting coaches and officials’ training initiatives.

MobileAssist said companies using any of its three web-based platforms - TheBillPlace, TicketBox and DonationStation - can embed their personalised payment links in social media posts, websites, WhatsApp messages and e-mail campaigns. They can also generate QR codes for physical or digital display.

It added that its payment platforms, including these new web extensions, are fully integrated with Sand Dollar, The Bahamas’ official digital currency.
