Datastream launches platform for Nigerians to settle digital and lifestyle payments

Datastream, a fintech startup, says it has launched a digital payment solution to provide a seamless and unique option for Nigerians to settle all digital and lifestyle payment needs. 

In a statement on Tuesday, the company said the payment solution ‘Datastream Recharge’ will cater for the digital needs of Nigerians at home and in the diaspora.

Founded in June 2021, the company said it kicked off its beta test in September and had since seen a trove of sign-ups based on referrals.

According to the statement, Datastream product offerings include digital products such as airtime, data and bills like electricity and cable TV.

It stated that users would be able to top up mobile lines to more than 50 international destinations as well as buy gift cards from major brands across the world.

“With the platform, Nigerians home and abroad can send airtime top-ups as gifts and pay their electricity, Cable TV and internet services so long as they have a naira denominated account,” the statement reads.

Wale Ameen, Datastream’s chief executive officer, said the unique feature of the platform is its ‘Gift Me’ feature, where users can gift one another cash as airtime or just simply send gifts directly to such users via their phone number with a unique message.

”We are delighted to unveil our payment platform to Nigerians home and abroad. Our mission with the brand is to offer ease and take off the burden which comes with digital payment from the shoulders of Nigerians. We want to make payment as simple as possible and this is informed by our attention to customer satisfaction,” Ameen said.

“For us, we want to be as close to our customers as their next door neighbour and take every feedback important.

”The Datastream tribe is one made up of high class and upwardly mobile millennials who want excellent service delivery backed with great customer service. 

“To show Nigerians we are indeed thoughtful and care about their needs, we are giving back 15 percent of all purchases of up to N50,0000 made within three purchases between now and October 31st, 2021.

“One thing that stands Datastream out is our commitment to excellent customer care service. We take pride in our attention to customer satisfaction, and we invite Nigerians to try us out and be amazed. Users can expect nothing but the best as we go on as we are committed to continuously innovating and adding new and dynamic products to the platform.”
