Manama: Batelco has announced that 50 per cent of its enterprise customers have opted to use their electronic billing (e-Billing) service option and stop receiving printed bills.
The company said it is reaching out to customers to solicit support for its ‘go-green’ initiatives such as e-Billing services.
The campaign to promote e-Billing also supports the Economic Vision 2030 which aspires to an e-Economy, with all residents of Bahrain having access to Internet services and a wide range of
online applications to enhance their lifestyles.
Batelco’s acting in charge of enterprise division Donya Al Ansari said the service is very convenient and free of charge and by going green, businesses can improve their overall efficiency by reducing unnecessary paper waste thus trimming operating costs.
“We are encouraging all our customers to get onboard with this initiative and reduce the paper clutter in their homes and offices.
“With the growing use of smart devices adding to the wide use of PCs and laptops, more and more people are carrying out a broader range of transactions online including bill payments,” Ms Al
Ansari added.
“An additional benefit of e-Billing is that it ensures confidentiality by removing the issue of bills being lost in the post or being returned due to customers’ changing their addresses.
“An e-Bill reaches the customer no matter where he or she is.”
In addition to the e-Billing service, Batelco’s e-Services portal also provides a range of services such as managing broadband or mobile accounts, subscribing or upgrading to a range of broadband and mobile services,
customising packages and reservation of numbers.
