Togo: Total launches Oasys+, a new card for their products

(Togo First) - In Togo, Total launched a new card for purchasing their products called Oasys+. It adds to the already present Oasis classic and Fat’ka cards launched in 2003 and 2016 respectively by the French giant.

While the first two ranges are processed only in Lomé, at Total’s headquarters, the recent one aims to enable total’s customers have access to all of its products and services even after traditional working hours. This was disclosed by Cyrille Kokou Dos-Reis, Deputy Managing Director Total Togo.

“Oasys+ is an innovative product that is dedicated to the mass and it can be topped up at stations. It is issued and activated in less than ten minutes in all Total stations, but for the moment, it is only available in 25 stations spread across the country,” he added.

“This card also takes into consideration users’ security concerns. This card is protected with a code that only its owner or user knows,” the executive said in this regard, highlighting that “it must be renewed after five years of use”.

For a user to acquire an Oasys+ card, he or she should come to a Total station with an ID document, fill an adhesion form which costs CFA3,500 and load the card with an initial minimum amount of CFA5,000.

With this card, the customer can access the history of his or her purchases and check his or her balance.
