Vesta Corporation launches new

Prepaid Customers Can Easily Add Credit to Their Accounts
Using Credit and Laser Cards

Vesta Corporation, a specialist in virtual payment solutions, has today launched a new top-up service for O2 Ireland.

O2’s prepaid customers can now top up anytime, anywhere using their credit card or Laser card by simply dialing the short code “1749” from their O2 phone.  Customers will have the option to top-up using an automated voice response service or by talking to a customer care agent and will now be able to complete a top-up transaction start to finish the first time they call.  Vesta’s proprietary technology handles the top-up requests, validates customers’ payment, and quickly adds credit to customers’ accounts.

O2’s partnership with Vesta also introduces a new feature enabling anyone to give a “gift” of prepaid credit to O2 customers. This capability allows topping-up an O2 account using a credit card or Laser card by simply dialing the Lo-call number 1850 923779. 

“Our solution provides more convenient ways for O2 customers to top up, and a more cost effective solution for O2,” said Lorcan Burke, Vesta’s Vice President, European Sales and Marketing. “And with summer holidays approaching, the gifting feature allows an easy way for family and friends to top-up an O2 account anytime, anywhere.” he added.

Commenting on the launch of the new service, Declan Burke, O2’s Recharge Business Manager, said, “Top Up Express reinforces our commitment to providing excellent customer care in all of O2’s services.  Through our partnership with Vesta, we can provide faster and easier solutions that enable customers to top up at any time, directly from their phones.”

The partnership with O2 strengthens Vesta’s foothold with European operators. The top-up service will be fully supported by Vesta’s European Operations Centre.
