YES BANK will power payment solutions for Smartbox Automated Parcel Delivery Terminals
Mumbai, 09 February, 2016: YES BANK, India’s 5th largest private sector Bank has partnered with Smartbox Ecommerce Solutions Pvt. Ltd. to efficiently solve the last mile delivery challenges of E-commerce companies and making life easy for online shoppers. YES BANK will power the payment solutions for Smartbox network of Automated Parcel Delivery Terminals. The Cash on Delivery model continues to account for over 50% of the E-commerce market which is slated to reach a size of USD 100 Billion by 2020. YES BANK’s partnership with Smartbox will address this crucial challenge and help reduce costs for e-commerce companies while offering additional convenience to online shoppers. With this association COD will be handled as CSOD (card swipe on delivery) on the terminals – thereby reducing the burden of handling cash on the entire ecosystem.
Smartbox has already launched 12 terminals which have been installed at primary metro stations and business centers in the Delhi NCR region. This network is expected to be expanded to over 1,000 locations covering 8 major cities in India by the end of 2016.
Today’s busy online shoppers are either unavailable at home or busy at office which results in delayed delivery, delivery reattempts, or just unwanted courier coordination for an already short-on-time consumers. Now, these shoppers can choose a Smartbox terminal near their office or home as a delivery option at the time of check out while shopping at our partner eShops. When the parcel arrives, consumers will receive an OTP that can be used at Smartbox terminal to pick-up the parcels at a time convenient to them.
