Questions

Frequently asked.

Does SMS Banking work with our core banking system?

SMS Banking integrates through standard interfaces such as ISO 8583, web services or database adapters. We confirm the integration approach for your specific core system during the assessment stage.

Do customers need a smartphone or internet access?

No. SMS Banking works on any mobile phone, using standard SMS and USSD over the mobile network.

How are transactions secured?

Customers are verified by their registered number and PIN, communication with your systems is encrypted, and every request is logged for audit. Controls are configured to align with your security policies.

Can it be hosted in our own data centre?

Yes. SMS Banking can be deployed on-premise, as a managed service, or in a hybrid model, depending on your requirements.

How long does deployment take?

Timelines depend mainly on core integration and mobile network onboarding. We provide a detailed plan once the assessment is complete.
