Celcom Malaysia’s VP of Business Innovation division, Kevin Henry, talk about the operator’s recently launched Celcom AirCash service, which allows users to transfer money from one AirCash account to the other. Moreover, they [users] can top-up airtime with AirCash (for pre-paid users), as well as check their current account balance at any time.

The service currently works in Malaysia and Indonesia, but Celcom plans to launch the service to the Philippines in the near future.

Any mobile phone will work — a high-end smartphone is not required — and it’s easy to register, and later on use the service. SIM card is used to identify any single user, allowing customers to freely change their phones.

At the end, it’s worth pointing out that Kevin emphasized the high-level of security, saying that their AirCash service is “as secure as your ATM card.”

Next came launch…
