Mobile wallet "MoQ" developed by the three largest mobile operators in Lithuania says goodbye to the "Beta" version and presents an app with new functions. In addition, after receiving a millionth injection from communication operators, "MoQ" is implementing additional functionalities and 300 trading points are starting a refund program - €1-3 will be returned to users' MoQ accounts for purchases made through the app.

For businesses, customer payments by phone have also become a new experience. Every third receipt or bill with the app is paid not with personal money, but with funds deposited into the operator's account, which are later covered together with the operator's account," says Monika Rimkūnaitė-Bložė, head of Mobilieji mokejimai UAB.

"Today we are starting a phase of intensive MoQ development that will take the app's evolution to the next level." In order to encourage users, we will refund 1-3 EUR to the account of the user who paid for lunch in the city, food in the supermarket, clothes, bills for communication or utility services with the app within two days. We plan that this step will increase the number of users from the current 40 thousand. up to 100 thousand will expand in about a couple of months. ”, says the manager of Mobilieji mokejimai UAB.
In total, hundreds of thousands of in-app purchases are planned to be refunded, and the specific number depends on the intensity of payments. "MoQ" will return money to the account for payments with the app in cafes and restaurants in Vilnius in the old town, in stores "Rimi", "Aprangas galerija", "Pegasas" and "Vaga" bookstores, as well as in all "Pigu.lt" stores - a total of approximately 300 places.

We observe the trend that the store and the wallet are gradually moving to the mobile phone, and the growing number of payments with MoQ confirms this," says Giedrė Vilkė, marketing manager of Pigu.lt.
EUR 1-3 is the minimum amount of shopping that can be returned to the account. For example, when paying with "MoQ" in cafes and restaurants, 1,5 EUR will be returned in two days when paying a bill of at least 4 EUR.
