Ukash, the global eMoney network, has launched an iPhone app as another platform for consumers to store and manage their Ukash vouchers on the move. Users can also use their current location to find the nearest store selling Ukash. Apps for other platforms are also in development and will be launched later this year.

“It’s our overall vision to become world leaders in electronic cash payment transactions, and developing innovative technology is central to achieving this,” says Ukash CEO, David Hunter. “We are confident that consumers will find the Ukash iPhone app a convenient option for getting cash online.”

Ukash empowers people worldwide to use cash electronically, irrespective of status, device or boundary, and is available at 420,000 retail locations in more than 50 countries. Ukash is regulated by the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA) and operates as one of only a small number of Electronic Money Institutions, a status that allows a single maximum online cash payment transaction of up to £500/€750.
