How RizPay's Conversational Approach Simplifies Bill Payments
2026-01-10
Bill payment apps have made paying for utilities much easier than visiting banks or offices. RizPay takes a different approach - instead of navigating app screens, you simply chat.
Here's how the two approaches differ.
The Traditional App Approach
Most bill payment apps use a familiar interface:
- Open the app and log in
- Navigate through menus to find bill payment
- Select the service type (airtime, data, electricity, etc.)
- Fill out forms with provider, amount, phone number, or meter number
- Confirm and enter your PIN
- Wait for processing
This approach works well and millions of Nigerians use it daily.
The RizPay Way: Just Chat
With RizPay, paying bills works like texting a friend:
- Open WhatsApp (already on your phone)
- Type what you want: "Buy 1GB MTN data"
- Confirm the AI's summary
- Done—payment processed in seconds
No app downloads required. No menus to navigate. No forms to fill.
