“The ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys’ and Girls’ Championships are staples on the athletics calendar and favourites for track enthusiasts and those who are passionate about their schools. We see this GK MPay promotion as an opportunity to connect both entities. GK MPay is a robust payment platform that has already simplified the lives of many Jamaicans with a suite of services including paying for goods, phone top-up, peer-to- peer transactions, and receiving remittances.”
CEO of GraceKennedy Money Services, Michelle Allen, commenting on GK MPay promotion at ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys’ and Girls’ Championships
This year’s ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys’ and Girls’ Championships, to be held from March 28 2017 to April 1st 2017, may be the year that Mobile money makes it grand debut.
GraceKennedy plans to offer some 2,000 free tickets to lucky patrons that register for GK MPay, the mobile payment platform. In case you were under a rock, GK MPay is GraceKennedy’s Mobile Money platform that launched on Wednesday February 7th 2017 as I’ reported in my ditty GraceKennedy Money Services launches GK MPay Mobile Money.
the promotion is set to end March 30, will see the 2000 tickets distributed. The first 1,000 new GK MPay registrants will receive two (2) bleachers tickets each for Thursday, March 30 or Friday, March 31 at the National Stadium. Participants can also win cash prizes that will go directly to their GK Mpay Wallet, very similar to the Winnings a Run as noted in my article FLOW Jamaica and GraceKennedy Winnings a Run Promotion for GK MPay.
Ticket winners will be notified via SMS text message or by phone. Tickets may be redeemed on the day of the event at GK MPay Booth next to the National Stadium’s ticketing booth.
GK Mpay is set to take Jamaica by storm as it works a lot like Quisk but does remittances a lot better and with less needs to visit the bank as Kelroy observed in GK MPay Mobile Money – Mobile App Overview. A quick visit to any GK MPay agent location islandwide only requires the following to have an account:
- TRN (tax registration number)
- GOJ issued photo ID and a mobile phone to register for the service
After that you can GK MPay yourself to some ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys’ and Girls’ Champs tickets.
