Viasat simplifies payments at Mexico OXXO c-stores

The company enables cash payment options, adding ease to how consumers and businesses in Mexico purchase an internet service package.

Viasat Inc. is offering new simplified payment options across OXXO's 21,000 convenience stores in Mexico.

According to PYMNTS.com 'Global Cash Index™ Americas Edition', cash spending by consumer and small and medium businesses (SMB) make up approximately 90 percent of all transactions in Mexico. With Viasat's new payment options, consumers and businesses who were previously unable to engage in non-cash financial transactions due to lack of credit, access to bank accounts and credit cards, will now have the ability to make cash payments for Viasat's internet service at participating OXXO convenience stores.

Since 2019, Viasat has deployed its fast and reliable internet service across the country, using satellite connectivity to deliver affordable internet service to residential and SMB customers in areas that previously had no access to fiber or cable infrastructure.

“People that were previously excluded from participating in the digital economy are now able to access our reliable internet service by simply paying cash at any of OXXO's 21,000 participating convenient stores,” said Kevin Cohen, Viasat.
