iGA launches ePayment campaign with Talabat

The Information & eGovernment Authority (iGA) announced launching a promotional campaign in cooperation with Talabat, the online food ordering company, giving users of payment services on the National Portal, bahrain.bh the chance to enter weekly draws. Two users will each win BD100 Talabat credit for five consecutive weeks, starting Sunday.

“This activity aims to promote government services to the public through new channels. An added value experience is being offered as an incentive for them to benefit from the over 40 online payment services accessible through the National Portal.” iGA Acting Director of Communications and Marketing, Lulwa Sami Ebrahim said, “Online food ordering is popular among the majority of Bahraini nationals and residents, and its growth is in line with that of e-commerce in the Kingdom.”

Usage of the National Portal, bahrain.bh has grown by around 30% in the last year, in line with iGA’s strategy to shift government services from traditional to digital platforms. Talabat Bahrain Managing Director, Hesham AlSaati added: “Two winners will receive BD100 in Talabat credit every week, adding up to a total of 10 winners. They can use the credit at any of the more than 1,000 Bahrain restaurants listed on Talabat.”
