GuyOil launches MMG as payment option at service stations countrywide

The Guyana Oil Company Limited (GuyOil) has officially launched Mobile Money Guyana (mmg+) as a payment method at all eight of its company-owned service stations across the country.
During a simple launching ceremony on Friday, General Manager of MMG, Bobita Ram expressed her excitement for extending this service to GuyOil which will ensure that customers can pay for their fuel in a convenient and hassle-free way.
She added that this service will transform the customer experience when buying gas and other items at service stations.
“The team at GuyOil has clearly put convenience at the top of their agenda, and with their customers in mind, have taken this step to introduce technology at the pump. As you know we at MMG have enabled mobile cashless payments across several sectors and today we welcome the addition of GuyOil to the long list of places where mobile payments are accepted,” Ram remarked.
She added “Now when you drive up to the pump at GuyOil, no need to fumble for cash [or] wait for the attendant to make a change. Those days are in the past. With a simple scan of the QR code, conveniently placed on the pumps, you can effortlessly pay for fuel, lubricants, and a range of other services. This not only saves valuable time but [also] transforms the experience of buying gas into one of ease and convenience.”

Ram also highlighted the recent removal of Value Added Tax on mobile phones, which she noted is a significant step forward for the country and will now allow persons to purchase phones at an affordable cost.
“With the recent removal of taxes on mobile phones announced by President Ali, which we welcome, we see more and more of the citizens of Guyana, being able to access services from the convenience of their phones and without even having to leave their homes. We are thrilled to play a part in the transformation of our nation into a digitally accessible environment,” Ram commented.
Additionally, Ram challenged other businesses to get on board with MMG and improve their overall customer experience.
“Today as we launch mobile payments at GuyOil services stations, we challenge other companies providing services to embrace this technology and improve the experience of your customers by enhancing the ease and convenience of their payments.”
Meanwhile, General Manager for GuyOil, Molly Hassan noted that the implementation of this payment method moves the company one step closer to improved customer experience at all facilities.
“Consumers today have an array of choices; we’re bombarded by a plethora of offerings…we’re living in an information age. MMG has now moved GuyOil closer to consideration. No, we don’t have cash, we have mobile money, so there’s this choice which makes it very easy to transition and bring that kind of value, customer value to our customers,” Hassan remarked.
According to Hassan, as the world advances, it is important for businesses to embrace technology.
“Today as markets evolve, it becomes necessary for companies to adapt to the changing technologies of consumers and to embrace the new available technologies to assert the opportunities for business optimisation, which is what MMG will add to GuyOil. At this point, it becomes necessary for businesses like us to embrace what’s available and make the lives of our customers easier, affordable, and convenient.”
This payment option is available 24 hours at Providence and Diamond on the East Bank of Demerara, Sheriff Street, Regent Street and Kitty in Georgetown, Victoria on the East Coast of Demerara, Adventure in Essequibo as well as Palmyra and Heathburn in Berbice.
