Step 3 Using USSD to Create a Secret IMPay PIN
7. Please dial the USSD service number provided, and complete the necessary information. This includes an IMPay PIN, and a secondary IMPay PIN Unblocking Key (IMPUK). Your IMPay PIN is used to authenticate yourself during IMPay sessions. Your IMPUK is an additional secret key which you need to keep safe, just in case you forget you IMPay PIN, and we can then verify who you are.
You must only enter your IMPay PIN or IMPUK when dialing an IMPay published USSD String.
8. Once you have completed the USSD registration process, you will continue in the registration IM chat session.
We suggest that you add the USSD string as a contact in your mobile phone address book so that it will be easier for you to dial the USSD string in the future.
Step 4 Complete your registration via Instant Messaging
9. Send your email address. This needs to be a valid email address, as important registration information is sent to this address (like your account number). We will not send any unsolicited email to this address.
10. If you accept the terms and conditions for using IMPay, send 'y' or 'yes'. If you do not, your registration session will be terminated.
11. Confirm the details you have entered by sending 'y' or 'yes'.
12. You will receive a welcome email confirming your registration with IMPay together with your IMPay account details. This email will also contain important information on how to deposit money into your IMPay account. You will now be able to perform payment and make purchases.
