The CashEnvoy Blog

If you have ever seen the 1966 classic movie; the good the bad and the ugly directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood you would know the title of the movie was not exactly apt.

Though there were 3 main characters in the movie; ugly was ugly and bad was bad, but no one in the movie was good. Except if good meant good shooter. Also good and ugly were actually partners in crime. Partners that maintained a hate relationship.

This newsletter also follows the non accurate nomenclature as the definition of good, bad and ugly is left to your discretion.

We are now in December; the last month of the year. So, this piece of mail is the last newsletter from CashEnvoy in 2011. It is a time to quickly reflect on the achievements of the last 12 months, scrutinize the disappointments and also set a frame work for the expectations of the coming year.

Ted Turner (founder of CNN and largest land owner in USA) said in the preface of his autobiography, “I don’t spend a lot of time dwelling on the past; one of the reasons have been able to accomplish as much as I have is because I prefer to live in the present while spending my spare moments thinking about the future.”

Taking a cue from that, we would do exactly likewise. Live in the present and start planning for the future.

2012 is going to be a beautiful year. A lot of things are expected to happen (not including the world ending like it did in the movie 2012), so feel free to categorize them as you see fit.

In 2012, the CBN Cashless policy will start taking shape. We also have the deadline for the new car number plate, the deadline for new driver’s license and the big one, the fuel subsidy removal.

From the CashEnvoy team, we come bearing gifts. We plan on releasing more payment options, thereby increasing payment alternatives for merchants to receive payment and more options for users to pay through.

We would also release our Merchant Referral Reward program and keep focusing on our fast growing number of users (great people like you).

Another big one for 2012 is the CashEnvoy e-commerce convention. Further details would be sent as the New Year commences.

As we all brace ourselves for 2012, the proposed fuel subsidy removal and other ripple effects that would come along with it, we wish you success in all your endeavours. All the best during the holidays and a very happy new year in advance.

 Quoting the urban dictionary, Gone till November means leaving town for an extended period with plans to return. Some of the good things in the country and our lives may be gone; we pray they all return this November.

This month, we celebrate our second anniversary. Don’t start picking out aso-ebi yet. There’s no party. Just a time to thank God and reflect quietly on how far we’ve come in the last two years and where we want to be in the next two years. Challenges have been myriad.  In fact, they occur daily, but we continue to find ways to overcome them.

CashEnvoy’s growth can be described as “gifts within the gift”. As you unwrap the main present, there are other smaller gifts waiting to be unwrapped. As the months roll on, we keep unfolding better ideas, concepts and innovation to serve you better. It’s a gift that never ends.

Please forgive the gift metaphor. The anniversary and coming festivities (Ile-ya and Christmas) are to blame.

Our steady growth shows our determination, perseverance and passion to excel. As we move into our third year, we would copy the MTN 10 year anniversary advert slogan and say THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

Then we would end ours with WE PROMISE.

We are pleased to announce an update on the CashEnvoy Payment API that gives customers the option to choose between paying directly with their cards or paying via their CashEnvoy accounts on merchant’s site.
