A few words about the EKO Smile App


The EKO Smile App was introduced to the Cypriot market in 2020 and is a smart and complete digital solution for mobile phones. It is a fully functional and popular app that is available to download on Google Play, App Store and Αpp Gallery. In the last three years, the app has continuously been upgraded to improve the purchasing experience of the users, making every purchase even easier than before.


Amongst other things, the EKO Smile App gives the user the power to release the pump at the service station and pay for fuel and other products and services from a distance. The app also collects for its users Smiles, earned with every purchase of any product or service at all EKO service stations. Smiles can then be redeemed to purchase various products at reduced and attractive prices.
